Very interesting symmetrical pattern in box 8! Notice that there is a strong link 8 in b8/c4, strong link 3 in b8/c6 and strong link 6 on b8/c5. These are coupled together s-wing-like using the (68)r7c2 and (36)r8c7 - throw in matching bivalues on 1...

You seem to have intertwined two chains that share the strong link (6)r8c5 = (6)r7c5. For me, they're easier to understand separately.
(6)r8c5 = (6)r7c5 = (6=8)r7c2 - (8)r7c4 = (8)r8c4 - (8=1)r8c9 ==> r8c5<>1
(1=3)r7c3 - (3)r7c6 = (3)r8c6 - (3=6)r8c7 - (6)r8c5 = (6)r7c5 ==> r7c5<>1 |

After a Kite, r8c4<>1, I couldn't find a move, but it fell easily to a Medusa wrap. |
