Squares R2C2 and R7C2 in column 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <57>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C2 - removing <5> from <245> leaving <24>

R5C2 - removing <57> from <14567> leaving <146>

R6C2 - removing <5> from <1245> leaving <124>

R8C2 - removing <7> from <1679> leaving <169>

R9C2 - removing <7> from <1679> leaving <169>

Squares R4C6 and R5C6 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <34>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C5 - removing <3> from <358> leaving <58>

R5C5 - removing <3> from <1358> leaving <158>

R6C5 - removing <3> from <135> leaving <15>

Squares R8C4 and R9C4 in block 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <16>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R9C5 - removing <1> from <137> leaving <37>

Intersection of column 1 with block 4. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R4C1, R5C1 and R6C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R5C3 - removing <3> from <1357> leaving <157>

R6C3 - removing <3> from <135> leaving <15>
