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 <67> from <4679> leaving <49>

Squares R5C4 and R5C6 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <15>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C6 - removing <1> from <128> leaving <28>

R6C4 - removing <1> from <128> leaving <28>

Intersection of row 1 with block 2. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R1C4, R1C5 and R1C6 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R2C4 - removing <7> from <12567> leaving <1256>

R3C5 - removing <7> from <127> leaving <12>

R1C5 is the only square in column 5 that can be <7>

Squares R5C4, R5C6, R2C4 and R2C6 form a Type-3 Unique Rectangle on <15>. Upon close inspection, it is clear that:

(R2C4 or R2C6)<26> and R1C4<26> form a naked pair on <26> in block 2. No other squares in the block can contain these possibilities

R3C5 - removing <2> from <12> leaving <1>
