R6C4 is the only square in column 4 that can be <2>

R5C8 is the only square in row 5 that can be <2>

R9C6 is the only square in column 6 that can be <4>

R7C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <7>

R8C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <1>

R7C4 is the only square in column 4 that can be <1>

Squares R5C7 and R6C7 in block 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <59>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C8 - removing <9> from <689> leaving <68>

R6C9 - removing <5> from <356> leaving <36>

Intersection of column 1 with block 1. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R2C1 and R3C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R2C3 - removing <2> from <2569> leaving <569>

R3C3 - removing <2> from <279> leaving <79>

Squares R3C3 and R3C6 in row 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <79>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R3C1 - removing <9> from <239> leaving <23>

R3C5 - removing <79> from <2379> leaving <23>

Intersection of column 4 with block 8. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R7C4, R8C4 and R9C4 of column 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R7C5 - removing <9> from <59> leaving <5>
