Indeed yes, I have conquered chains and loops...FINALLY! I followed the precise path of Gianni on this one; that XY-Chain is the key, it seems, to solving this one. The UR is a Type 6, which results in two eliminations AND two placements (5). And the BUG+1 is a nice ending technique.
This puzzle will always remain special for me in that I was able to implement a chain as a means of solving for the first time ever.
Hope all who tried it enjoyed the puzzle.
cheers...immp |

(1): (8=1)r1c5 - (1=9)r5c5 - (9=7)r5c9 - (7=8)r3c9 => - 8r1c7

(2): (4=3)r6c8 - (3=6)r6c2 - r6c7 = (6-5)r5c7 = r4c7 - (5=4)r4c3 => - 4r6c3; stte |
