				An convoluted move to start the process after basics.
 
 
  	  | Code: | 	 		   *--------------------------------------------------------------------*
 
 | 56     135    2      | 1356   4      13     | 8      9      7      |
 
 | 568    13458  13458  | 1356   7      9      | 2      15     34     |
 
 | 9      1345   7      | 2      135    8      | 15     6      34     |
 
 |----------------------+----------------------+----------------------|
 
 | 7      3458   3458   | 9      6      13     | 135    145    2      |
 
 | 1      9      35     | 4      8      2      | 35     7      6      |
 
 | 34     2      6      | 7      13     5      | 9      14     8      |
 
 |----------------------+----------------------+----------------------|
 
 | 58     6      13     | 1358   135    7      | 4      2      9      |
 
 | 2      7      58     | 58     9      4      | 6      3      1      |
 
 | 34     134    9      | 13     2      6      | 7      8      5      |

I do not know how to properly annotate this move so my description is mostly English plus an attempt at Eureka at the end.
 
 
Look at r3c5:  either r3c5=5 or r3c5=13. 
 
If r3c5=13, this forms a 13 pair with r1c6, which
 
creates a Type 1 UR 56 in r12c14 that forces r2c1=8, which
 
makes r7c1=5.
 
Thus we now have pincers on 5 in r3c5 and r7c1 which delete 5 in t7c5.
 
 
(5)r3c5 = (13)r3c5|r6c1 - (13=56)r12c6 - UR56r12c14 = (8)r2c1 - (8=5)r7c1; r7c5<>5.
 
 
This move did  not solve the puzzle but was fun. 
 
 
A Type 1 UR38 and a xy-wing-348 with pseudocell pincer and transport completed the puzzle.

				Ted,
 
your logic works.

				| A Kite on 1, pivoted in box 6, takes out the 1 from r3c5. A W-Wing on 13, connected by the 3s in c1, takes out the 1 from r7c5. The 35 pair left in c5 finishes it off. |
