 skyscraper on 8
 the next two chains are the same except one makes eliminations before moving on to make more in the second one.
 (7=8)r6c3 - (8)r4c2 = (8)r4c6 - (8=5)r9c6 - (5)r2c6 = (5-7)r2c5 = (7)r2c1; r45c1 <> 7
 (7=8)r6c3 - (8)r4c2 = (8)r4c6 - (8=5)r9c6 - (5)r2c6 = (5-7)r2c5 = (7)r2c1 - (7=9)r7c1 - (9)r7c2 = (9)r5c2; r5c2 <> 7
 
 xy-wing {4,5,8} removes 5 from r9c6

				| I had to "work" on this since I could not find a non-chain solution. Three steps: First, a Kraken x-wing 8 in r16c45 deletes 8 in r7c5.
 
 Then I found a couple of deletions that lead nowhere so I started looking for a chain. After a lengthy time, I found a one that deletes 8 from r6c5.
  	  | Code: |  	  | *-----------------------------------------------------------*
 | 3     47    2     | 47-8  *78   1     | 9     6     5     |
 | 47    6     9     | 3     *57   *45   | 8     1     2     |
 | 8     1     5     | 9     2     6     | 4     7     3     |
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 | 457   478   6     | 1     3     248   | 25    9     47    |
 | 4579  479   3     | 47    6     24    | 25    8     1     |
 | 1     2     78    | 4578  578   9     | 6     3     47    |
 |-------------------+-------------------+-------------------|
 | 79    789   78    | 2     4     3     | 1     5     6     |
 | 2     5     1     | 6     9     7     | 3     4     8     |
 | 6     3     4     | *58   1     *58   | 7     2     9     |
 *-----------------------------------------------------------*
 | 
 
 (8=5)r9c4 - (5)r9c6 = (5)r2c6 - (5=7)r2c5 - (7=8)r1c5; r1c4<>8.
 
 And finally, a xy-wing 478 with pivot 48 at r4c2 deletes 7 at r5c2, but transporting the 7 at r1c2 to r2c5 via r1c4 deletes 7 at r6c5 to finish off the puzzle.
