Is anyone still working on this puzzle. On further review, the steps seem limited. |

It was a long slog.
ER (6); r4c3<>6
ER (5); r1c4<>5
XY-Chain; r4c8, r5c2<>2
M-Wing (16); r6c6<>1
W-Wing (69); r5c4, r6c2<>9
Coloring; r4c6<>6
BUG+1 |

I seldom examine my solver's solution to see if the steps it found are "tight". I checked this puzzle after it sat "idle" for awhile. Then I realized that only one M/W-Wing was indicated present. The same for the Remote Pair.
Code: | c5b9 turbot fish/ER <> 1 r4c8 needed for M-Wing
c3b8r9 Empty Rectangle <> 5 r1c4 needed for M-Wing
-plus-
c5b7 turbot fish/ER <> 6 r4c3 extraneous
M-Wing: (5=2)r4c8 - r4c3 = (2-5)r1c3 = (5)r9c3 => r9c8<>5 needed for RP
r19 X-Wing <> 5 r3c6 extraneous
RP: (6=5)r3c1 - (5=6)r7c1 - (6=5)r9c3 - (5=6)r9c6 => r3c6<>56
