After basics:
Code:
 *--------------------------------------------------------------------*
 | 6      149    8      | 3      7      1459   | 15     459    2      |

A type 3 UR 27 in r26c12 creates a pseudocell 149 which forms a subset with the 149 in cells r1c2 & r2c3 to delete 149 in r3c1.
a x-wing on 5,
an AIC by extending the vertex of a potential xy-wing 1-45. (4=1)r3c5 - (1=5)r6c5 - (5)r9c5 = (5)r9c8 - (5=4)r8c9; r3c9<>4.
flightless xy-wing 1-47 with vertex in r3c9 plus transport,
x-wing on 4 r19c28,
BUG+2 forces r5c9=5 to complete the puzzle.

I had fun but it took me a million moves. X-Wings, W-Wing, URs, XYZ-Wing and a few colorings. I noticed a triple late and who knows if not noticing it earlier caused me to use more moves.

Yes, but one test case is not a valid database to make a final decision.
