R3C6 can only be <8>

R7C8 is the only square in row 7 that can be <6>

R3C4 is the only square in row 3 that can be <6>

R9C3 is the only square in row 9 that can be <6>

Intersection of row 7 with block 8. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R7C4, R7C5 and R7C6 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R8C5 - removing <4> from <14789> leaving <1789>

R9C4 - removing <4> from <457> leaving <57>

R9C5 - removing <4> from <124579> leaving <12579>

Intersection of row 9 with block 9. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R9C7, R9C8 and R9C9 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R8C7 - removing <4> from <1479> leaving <179>

R8C9 - removing <4> from <47> leaving <7>

R4C9 can only be <3>

Intersection of column 1 with block 4. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R4C1, R5C1 and R6C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R5C2 - removing <7> from <23789> leaving <2389>

Intersection of block 7 with column 2. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R7C2, R8C2 and R9C2 of block 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with column 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of column 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C2 - removing <2> from <2378> leaving <378>

R5C2 - removing <2> from <2389> leaving <389>

Squares R2C3<248>, R6C3<28> and R8C3<48> in column 3 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <248>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C3 - removing <248> from <2348> leaving <3>

R4C3 - removing <8> from <158> leaving <15>

R5C3 - removing <28> from <12358> leaving <135>

R3C2 can only be <7>

R3C8 can only be <4>

R1C2 can only be <8>

R3C5 can only be <3>
