A 37 W wing results in r7c7 <> 3. This solves the puzzle.

An X wing in 1s sets up a W wing in 47, resulting in r8c8=1. This solves the puzzle.

Like Clement I used the kite and the XYZ wing, but, the third step for me was a finned X wing in 4. This solved th puzzle.

I think the kite may not be needed. The X wing followed by the BUG+1 solves the puzzle. For those who don't like BUG+1, there is an XYZ wing with 175 pivoted in r8c1 which solves the puzzle as well.

As kuskey pointed out, this was a messy one. After the XYZ wing, you can do to X wings on 1 and 7. this reduces the UR to a type 1 ..... Not that it matters .... A UR is a UR!

I hate to say this, since I am not too thrilled by UR solutions, but there is a type 3 UR on 39 which eliminates 1 in r3c5.

A Sasmi X wing (some prefer to call it a skyscraper) on 1s between row 3 and row 8 eliminates 1 in r2c5, r7c4 and r9c4. This cracks the puzzle wide open.

A skyscraper in 4s r3c8 <> 4 does the trick as well. I realized I was doing this elimination subconsciously without recognizing it as an advanced move. |

Another single stepper is a W wing with 69.
A longer route that worked is a swordfish on 9, followed by a type 1 UR with 19 followed by a BUG+1. |
