Thanks for the puzzle immp!

After basics:
Code:
+-----------------+---------------+-----------------+
| 3    2   c58    | d59  1679 167 | 68  19     4    |
| 6    4   f19    |  3  e19   8   | 7   5      2    |
| 58  g19   7     |  45  46   2   | 3   68     19   |
+-----------------+---------------+-----------------+
| 148  379  2389  |  6   38   5   | 248 134789 1379 |
| 48   37  b38    |  1   2    9   | 5   3478   6    |
| 158  6    23589 |  7   38   4   | 28  1389   139  |
+-----------------+---------------+-----------------+
| 2    3-1  4     |  8   5    167 | 9   367    37   |
| 7    5    6     |  49  49   3   | 1   2      8    |
| 9    8   a13    |  2   167  167 | 46  3467   5    |
+-----------------+---------------+-----------------+

Then I used the chain (1=3)r9c3-(3=8)r5c3-(8=5)r1c3-(5=9)r1c4-(9=1)r2c5-r2c3=r3c2 => r7c2 <> 1; stte.

+------------------+-----------------+---------------------+

(6=859)r1c734 - (9=1)r2c5 - r2c3 = r3c2 - (1=3)r7c2 - r7c89 = (3-4)r9c8 = (4)r9c7 => -6r9c7; stte

I used a colouring technique.

In r1c3, I set the 5 to Green & the 8 to Blue. As 8 is a strong link in r1 so the 8 in r1c7 is Green with the 6 being Blue. In c2 the 5 is also a strong link so in r6c3 the 5 is set to Blue. There are a lot more cells that can be coloured but it turns out not to be necessary to find the solution.

If Green is the solution and looking at the 28 bivalued cell in r6c7, the 2 would also be Green as the 8 sees a Green 8. That 2 is also, however, part of a strong link in r6 which would imply 2 in r6c3 is Blue. But r6c3 already has a Blue 5! So Green can not be the solution and thus solves for all the cells coloured Blue.

Trust this explanation is relatively clear!
