This puzzle seemed to have so many possible moves which turn out not very useful! The first wing does damage but the remaining grid still needed work.
Code:
xy-wing(58-3) r8c3, r5c3, r8c6 ; r5c6<>3
xy-chain-als (8=5)r8c3 - (5=8)r3c3 - (8=5)r3c8 - (56=9)r57c8 - (9=8)r7c5 ; r7c2<>8, r8c5<>8

(I will also post in plain text from now on)

I've noticed your plain text posts already. THANKS!!!

BTW: my solver used a mix of steps before finishing with a 6-cell XY-Chain.

Those are the ones I used!!

I hacked away at it with eight mildly useful moves until the grid was reduced to a BUG+2.
