Squares R3C3 and R3C7 in row 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <29>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R3C4 - removing <2> from <237> leaving <37>

R3C5 - removing <29> from <2379> leaving <37>

Squares R7C3 and R9C3 in column 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <58>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R8C3 - removing <8> from <689> leaving <69>

Squares R1C5 and R2C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <29>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R7C5 - removing <2> from <238> leaving <38>

R8C5 - removing <2> from <278> leaving <78>

Intersection of column 8 with block 3. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R1C8, R2C8 and R3C8 of column 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R1C7 - removing <2> from <2569> leaving <569>

R2C7 - removing <2> from <2689> leaving <689>
