 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.
