R2C6 - removing <4> from <14> leaving <1>

R3C2 is the only square in row 3 that can be <1>

Squares R2C1 and R8C1 in column 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <67>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R9C1 - removing <6> from <356> leaving <35>

Intersection of row 8 with block 9. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R8C7, R8C8 and R8C9 of row 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.
