I have a horrendous 'proof' for this level. UP intermediates 32, 39, 40, 81 with 2, 3 and 7 chains in between. If I manage to streamline it, I will post. Alas, that will have to wait :-)

2. Whether b5=5=f4,e964=368;OR b6=5,i6=3;i9=7.UP39.
3. Whether h3=6=c12,c4=2;OR h7=6,b7=2;b5=59.
4. Whether i4=3=a6;OR i4=5=b6,b5=9;a3=9.UP40.

1. (3=5)i6 - i4 = (5-6|8)f4 = (68)e46 - (6|8=3)e9 => -3i9 ; UP = 39
2. (8=6)g9 - def9 = def8 - (6*)a8 = ab7 - h7 = (6*-4)h3 = (4-8)i3 = (8^-2)d3 = ab3 - c2 =
c4 - (2')e4 = [XYZ wing: (8='61)d46-(1=8)h4] - (8)f4 = (8)e46 => -8e9, -8^d9, -6*a3
---------------------
3. (9)a3 = a6 - (9=86)eh6 - (6*)b6 = [(9)a3=(9-6)b3=*(6-2)b7=(2)a7] => -2a3 ; UP = 40
4. (6)e6 = a6 - a8 = def8 - (6=3)e9 - f9 = (3-5*)f5 =
[ (6)e6=a6-(6=8)a8-def8=(8-5)f9=*(5^-8)f4=(81)eh4 ] => -6e4, -6^f4 ; UP = 81
