Squares R8C5 and R8C9 in row 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <35>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R8C2 - removing <3> from <379> leaving <79>

R8C7 - removing <3> from <379> leaving <79>

Intersection of row 6 with block 6. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R6C7, R6C8 and R6C9 of row 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R5C7 - removing <3> from <12379> leaving <1279>

R5C8 - removing <3> from <379> leaving <79>

R5C9 - removing <3> from <123> leaving <12>

Squares R9C1<38>, R9C3<389>, R9C4<37> and R9C8<379> in row 9 form a comprehensive naked quad. These 4 squares can only contain the 4 possibilities <3789>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R9C5 - removing <3> from <345> leaving <45>

R9C7 - removing <379> from <13479> leaving <14>

R9C9 - removing <3> from <135> leaving <15>
