R3C2 and R1C6 are pincers on 2. Don't ask me why.

Otherwise, a short chain (extended XY-wing) solves it.

 m-wing
(9=2)r1c3-r6c3=(2-9)r6c2=9r6c5 => -9r1c5; stte

if r1c3 is not a 9 then r6c5 ia a 9

One explanation is a w-wing(24) with a long path on (4) as the SL which is in box3
(4)r1c7-(4=2)r1c6
(4)r2c79-(4=5=9)r1c75-(9=4)r6c5-r4c5=r4c2-(4=2)r3c2; -2r1c3,r3c46

My first solution was a messy axy-wing(24-9)r3c2+r1c3|r6c2 with fin (4)r6c2
The xy-wing gives pincers (9) in r1c3 & r6c2; however (9)r6c2-(9=4)r6c5-r4c5=r4c2-(4=2)r3c2-(2=9)r1c3.
Finally the fin gives (4)r6c2-(4=5=2)r6c13-(2=9)r1c3
Thus, all paths lead to r1c3=9 to complete the puzzle.

At that point I realized that multiple short chains were possible using similar logic paths.

Four-cell XY-Chain. R6c5=4--->r1c3=9; r1c5<>9.
