It requires no guesses. It can be solved with singles, X-Wing and this BUG-Lite move:
Code: | .---------------.---------------.---------------.
| 2 6 3 | 5 7 9 | 1 4 8 |
| 59 7 4 | 8 2 1 | 6 59 3 |
| 89 1 589 | 3 4 6 | 59 7 2 |
:---------------+---------------+---------------:
| 4 *89 7 | 1 *89 5 | 3 2 6 |
| 89-5 3 6 | 2 *89 7 | 4 *89+5 1 |
| 1 *89+5 2 | 4 6 3 | 7 *89 59 |
:---------------+---------------+---------------:
| 7 4 59 | 6 1 8 | 2 3 59 |
| 3 2 1 | 9 5 4 | 8 6 7 |
| 6 589 589 | 7 3 2 | 59 1 4 |
'---------------'---------------'---------------' |
You can minimize the puzzle to 26 clues with the same solving path, except a few more singles.
Code: | 2 . 3|. . .|. 4 .
. . .|8 . .|. . .
. . .|. . 6|. 7 .
-----+-----+-----
. . 7|. . .|3 2 6
. . .|. . 7|. . .
1 . .|4 . 3|. . .
-----+-----+-----
. 4 .|. . .|2 3 .
3 2 1|9 . 4|8 . .
6 . .|7 . .|. 1 . |
