I am seeing four steps unless you don't use UR-2.

An x-wing and 2 xy-wings get around the UR.

A kite, xyz-wing and xy-wing get you to the UR. Smile

Code:
.------------------.------------------.------------------.
| 1    *6-9   3    |U479   5    U479  |*26   *27    8    |
| 69    4     8    | 1279  27    1279 | 5     3    *67   |
| 5     7     2    | 3     8     6    | 4     1     9    |
:------------------+------------------+------------------:
| 378   123   9    | 6     4     1278 | 28   *257  *57   |
| 678   26    5    | 279   3     2789 | 1     2479  467  |
| 678   126   4    | 1279  27    5    | 268   279   3    |
:------------------+------------------+------------------:
| 2     8     6    |U457   9    U47   | 3    *45    1    |
| 39    39    1    | 245   6     24   | 7     8     45   |
| 4     5     7    | 8     1     3    | 9     6     2    |
'------------------'------------------'------------------'

the UR on {4,7} tells us that neither the 9's in r1c46 nor the 5 in r7c4 can both be false... we can use that.

UR47[(9)r1c46 = (5)r7c4] - (5)r7c8 = (5)r4c8 - (5=7)r4c9 - (7)r2c9 = (7-2)r1c8 = (2-6)r1c7 = (6)r1c2; r1c2 <> 9

singles left.
