				Three steps with a xy-chain..............
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  Type 6 UR23 r14c89 with x-wing 3 overlay; r2c8,r4c9<>3
 
w-wing 26 r2c4 & r4c9 with SL2 r24c5; r2c9<>6
 
(7=2)r2c5 - r2c4 = r6c4 - (2=1)r6c8 - (1=7)r3c8; r3c6<>7
 
 | 	  
 
 
A single step solution is an "Almost" xy-chain. View r3c8 as (17=4).
 
If r3c8=17 then: 7=2)r2c5 - r2c4 = r6c4 - (2=1)r6c8 - (1=7)r3c8; r3c6<>7
 
If r3c8=4 then: (4)r3c8 - (4=6)r2c9 - r3c79 = (6-7)r3c6; r3c6<>7

				Two steps with a different xy-chain...
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  turbot/ER(6) (6)r4c9=r6c7 - r6c4=r2c4; r2c9<>6
 
xy-chain (2=1)r5c8 - (1=7)r3c8 - (7=6)r3c6 - (6=2)r2c4; r6c4<>2 | 	  
 
(I think the same "almost" play is possible with this chain as it also depends on (4)r3c8 - (4=6)r2c9 - (6=2)r2c4; r6c4<>2)
 
I did also play a stricter XY game and it was definitely BBDB for me!! Some of these may be extraneous...

m-wing(7) (7=8)r1c2 - r1c8=(8-7)r7c8=r7c7; r1c7<>7
