Intersection of row 2 with block 2. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R2C4, R2C5 and R2C6 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C6 - removing <5> from <2568> leaving <268>

Intersection of column 4 with block 8. The value <8> 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.

R8C6 - removing <8> from <258> leaving <25>

Intersection of column 5 with block 5. The value <8> only appears in one or more of squares R4C5, R5C5 and R6C5 of column 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain this value.

R5C6 - removing <8> from <2568> leaving <256>

Intersection of column 9 with block 6. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R4C9, R5C9 and R6C9 of column 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R5C8 - removing <5> from <12589> leaving <1289>

R6C8 - removing <5> from <258> leaving <28>
