Loads of moves to play in this one - this path has just two wings...
Quote:
m-wing(79) (7=9)r1c9 - r6c8=(9-7)r6c5=r4c5 ; r4c9<>7
l-wing(39) (9)r1c8=r6c8 - r6c5=r2c5 - (3)r2c5=r1c5 ; r1c8<>3
(Admit to spending more time finding a nice path than finding the patterns!)

Peter, nice catch on the Wings.

FWIW: This puzzle has one of those simple patterns ... that can be viewed as a more complex pattern ... that can be transformed into an even more complex pattern.

Code:
 after basics
 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 |  5      1237   8      |  6     #1239   4      |  1237  g39    *179    |
 |  2367   12367  137    |  28    g1239   1289   |  12357  359    4      |
 |  9      1234   134    |  7      5      12     |  123    8      6      |
 |-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------|
 |  4      257    9      |  1      27     3      |  8      6      57     |
 |  237    237    6      |  25     8      259    |  4      1     *79     |
 |  8      157    157    |  4     *79     6      |  357   *359    2      |
 |-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------|
 |  67     45678  457    |  3      16     158    |  9      2      158    |
 |  1      58     2      |  9      4      58     |  6      7      3      |
 |  36     9      35     |  258    126    7      |  15     4      158    |
 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 # 86 eliminations remain

Simple pattern (*): 2-String Kite r6c9 => r1c5<>9

Complex pattern (*+#) + (g): Broken Wing w/guardians r1c8,r2c5 => r1c5,r2c8<>9

Transformed guardian cell: (9-3)r2c5 = r1c5 - (3=9)r1c8 => r1c8=9

Alternately:

Code:
 Skyscraper r25c6              =>  r1c9<>9
 ||
 (9-3)r2c5 = r1c5 - (3=9)r1c8  =>  r1c9<>9

There's an extended almost M-Wing, but I think the other examples are enough.

Keith: Yes, I used a backdoor elimination.

I think an almost-gm-wing is going to be a tough spot generally (for me)! Sky/turbot and w-/y- wings are not too bad, but I find spotting gm-wings hard enough never mind if one part of them is "almost"!
