Squares R1C2 and R1C3 in row 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <78>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R1C4 - removing <8> from <689> leaving <69>

R1C6 - removing <8> from <68> leaving <6>

R1C7 - removing <8> from <34689> leaving <3469>

R3C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <8>

Squares R2C3 and R5C3 in column 3 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 column.

R9C3 - removing <15> from <1456> leaving <46>

R9C2 is the only square in row 9 that can be <1>

Intersection of row 9 with block 9. The values <23> only appears in one or more of squares R9C7, R9C8 and R9C9 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain these values.

R8C7 - removing <3> from <3456> leaving <456>

R8C9 - removing <3> from <356> leaving <56>

Intersection of column 7 with block 9. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R7C7, R8C7 and R9C7 of column 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R8C9 - removing <6> from <56> leaving <5>

R9C9 - removing <6> from <2356> leaving <235>

R8C2 can only be <3>
