Lots of AUR possibilities but I could not find anything really useful.

I did find a two step solution that used similar logic but was unable to combine into a one stepper.........

(2=1)r5c9-(1=5)r7c9-(59=27)r7c523-(7=3)r9c1-r9c9=(3)r3c9; r3c9<>2

ant(156=*3)r179c9-(3=7)r9c1-r7c3=r2c3-(7=*1)r2c7-(1=*6)r1c9-(136*=2)r3c9; r3c9<>16

Nice Exclamation

I looked at the anp(27=9)r7c32 but missed the deletion in r9c9; my bad.

I played the X-Wing on 3 (perhaps not useful) and two AICs, one originating in r7c9 which eliminated some 1s and the other starting in r2c3 which eliminated some 7s.

(3=7)r9c1-(729=5)r7c235-(5126=3)r1357c9 -3r3c1,r9c9

arkietech's move could be seen as an example of "extended" ALS x-z
(to illustrate, 4 candidate ALS are used but number is of course irrelevant)
(and using as standard notation : restricted commons in bold and opposite, z-candidate at start and finish of relevant sets)
If then ALS x-z is this
{zabc} {cdez}
then extended ALS x-z is
{zabc} {cdef} {fghz}
ie any z which sees all z in the extreme ALS is false

In arkietech's example
we have 12356r1357c9+2579r7c235+37r9c1 ie
{31265} {5297} {73} = <3>r9c9 <3>r3c1
