				| I used a skyscraper and an xyz. 
 I saw a finned swordfish ( and a 2-string-kite) that also works as a first step but the xyz is still needed after.  Here is the big fish. The kite does this same elimination,  a different one than the sky does,  BTW.

 this chain also takes care of it in one step.
 (5=2)r2c7 - (2)r2c3 = (2)r9c3 - (2=9)r8c2 - (9)r8c7 = (9)r9c7; r9c7 <> 5
