You have a BUG+1 pattern there, so a 7 in r5c5 ought to finish it off.

me hates graves. especially big ones

any number of xy-chains do the trick, e.g.

'38'(45)='87'(65)='79'(56)='93'(58 ) removes 3 from r5c5 (and r4c8)

'61'(44)='19'(46)='97'(56)='76'(52) removes 6

'76'(52)='65'(54)='51'(84)='17'(86) removes 7

seems the possibilites are endless ...
