				The XYZ-Wing isn't needed to get around the XY-Chain, but my workaround is not something I'd normally find.

wxyz wing aka:
 
Almost Locked Set XZ-Rule: A=r2c36 {457}, B=r13c2 {247}, X=4, Z=7 => r1c5,r2c1<>7
 
 
i found 3 more in the same band but this one does the most damage... |

interesting that this UR inference makes the same elimination as the wxyz-wing shown by strmckr
 
 
the 9's are locked into a x-wing in the U cells
 
a 7 is in each of the cells also.
 
UR79r46c26
 
notice that there is one other 7 in column 2 and a group of 7's in column 6.
 
 
1...UR79[(7)r1c2 = (7)r12c6]; r1c5 <> 7
 
 
2... xy-wing {2,4,5} removes 5 from r1c2 |

				I started with a xy-wing 24-5 with pivot 24 in r3c2 that deletes 5 in r1c2.
 
Then another xy-wing -257 with pivot 57 in r2c6 and pseudocell 25 in box1 deletes the 2 in r1c2 to complete the puzzle.
 
 
I never got around to looking for a xyz-wing.
