one of {1,3,7} must be true in the UR29 cells r23c38. in order to break up the UR...
 
 
(3)r2c3 - (3)r2c2 = (3)r7c2 - (3=7)r7c1

(7)r2c3 - (7)r89c3 = (7)r7c1

(1)r2c8 - (1=2)r8c8 - (2=6)r8c2 - (6=3)r7c2 - (3=7)r7c1
 
 
all prove 7 can't exist in r7c9 and solves the puzzle. |

				After a day of rest and a good nights sleep, I tried this puzzle again. Hopefully my solution is not totally ridiculous like the original post.       
 
 
kite on 2 with hinge in box1, which sets up a
 
type 1 UR29 in r23c38, which sets up a 
 
xy-wing 3-67 with vertex in r2c3.
