Squares R9C1 and R9C2 in row 9 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 row.

R9C4 - removing <5> from <569> leaving <69>

R9C9 - removing <7> from <679> leaving <69>

Squares R9C1 and R9C2 in block 7 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 block.

R8C1 - removing <7> from <147> leaving <14>

R8C2 - removing <7> from <147> leaving <14>

Squares R8C1 and R8C2 in row 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <14>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R8C8 - removing <14> from <1479> leaving <79>

Intersection of row 4 with block 5. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R4C4, R4C5 and R4C6 of row 4. 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 <6> from <567> leaving <57>

Squares R5C6 and R6C6 in column 6 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.
