Another opportunity to conjurer up an unusual step totally inconsistent with the rated level of the puzzle, but great fun.
Kraken fin x-wing (5)r23c19 with fin (5)r5c1; r3c235<>5
x-wing (5)r23c19=(5)r5c1[-(5)r23c1*]-(5=4)r5c3-(4=28)r8c34-(8=47)r83*c1-(57=8)r2c1*-(89=5)r2c73-r2c9=r3c9;
A Type 2 UR(28)r89c34; r5c3<>4=5 completes the puzzle.
[Note that my "funny" notation is an attempt at notating memory for later usage.]

Ted, this is strictly a FWIW comment!!!
I'm not aware of any standard for listing chains with memory. However, my preference is to flag the value. First by marking it on the right side when it's to be remembered, and then on the left side when it's reused later. As such:
x-wing(5)r23c19=(5*)r5c1-(5=4)r5c3-(4=28)r8c34-(*58=47)r83c1-(*57=8)r2c1-(89=5)r2c73-r2c9=r3c9;
FYI, your chain without memory:
x-wing(5)r23c19=(5)r5c1-(5=4)r5c3-(4=28)r8c34-(8)r8c1=(8-7)r2c1=(7-5)r2c9=(5)r3c9;

Hi, Ted. With 8s conjugate c1 you can get by without memory usage.
Code: | *--------------------------------------------------------------------*
| 1 245 24568 | 7 25 9 | 48 46 3 |
| 578 3 589 | 1 4 6 | 89 2 579 |
| 457 2457 24569 | 3 25 8 | 1 4679 4579 |
|----------------------+----------------------+----------------------|
| 2 6 7 | 5 8 1 | 3 49 49 |
| 45 8 45 | 6 9 3 | 7 1 2 |
| 9 1 3 | 4 7 2 | 5 8 6 |
|----------------------+----------------------+----------------------|
| 3 57 1 | 9 6 4 | 2 57 8 |
| 478 9 248 | 28 1 5 | 6 3 47 |
| 6 245 2458 | 28 3 7 | 49 459 1 |
*--------------------------------------------------------------------* |
Using your chain, you can forego the the x-wing as well, which leaves the UR to take it home.
(5=89)r2c37-(8)r2c1=r8c1-(8=24)r8c34-(4=5)r5c3 =>r139c3<>5

Luke, you will never be a Fun Killer for two reasons:
1) It is not in your happy nature, and
2) I am having too much fun abusing Danny's wonderful puzzles by solving them is strange ways.
Plus, I enjoy and learn from all the feedback I receive; keep it coming.

Danny, thanks for the suggestion about memory notation. I like it, I like it very much! It is simple and non-invasive. It does leave it up to the reviewer to interpret the memory location in some cases but I would not think that is a significant issue. In the rare cases where the chain could have more than one memory concern, multiple * could be used.
Thanks for another notation suggestion.

I played a Finned X-Wing; r3c1<>7, but subsequently found out an actual X-Wing was there.
Four-cell XY-Chain; r8c1<>7 |
