Squares R1C6 and R3C6 in column 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <23>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R6C6 - removing <3> from <139> leaving <19>

R7C6 - removing <23> from <1239> leaving <19>

Intersection of row 9 with block 8. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R9C4, R9C5 and R9C6 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R7C4 - removing <3> from <2369> leaving <269>

Intersection of column 2 with block 7. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R7C2, R8C2 and R9C2 of column 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R7C1 - removing <1> from <1267> leaving <267>

R8C1 - removing <1> from <167> leaving <67>

Intersection of column 3 with block 1. The values <79> only appears in one or more of squares R1C3, R2C3 and R3C3 of column 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain these values.

R2C1 - removing <7> from <17> leaving <1>

R3C1 - removing <7> from <1267> leaving <126>
