				A fun three step solution..........
 
 
#1: AUR(37)r12c15 external sis: r6c1=3,r6c5=7; r6c9<>3, r2c5<>7, r6c1<>7
 
#2: Type 1 UR(38)r13c27; r1c2<>38 which opens a 
 
#3: axy-wing(27-3) vertex (27)r1c2 with fin (7)r5c2; r3c2<>3
 
If fin is true: (7)r5c2-(7=8)r4c1-r4c2=(8)r3c2;

				There's a nice anp/xy-chain that cracks it...
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		  | anp(26=7)r76c6 - (7=3)r6c8 - (3=4)r7c8 - (4=2)r7c7 - (2=6)r7c5 ; r13c5<>6 |

The same cells and value used for the Kite are also used by the W-Wing. In fact, this could be considered a single-stepper if you include the elimination from the embedded Kite among the eliminations for the W-Wing. |
