R9C8 is the only square in row 9 that can be <5>

R6C8 is the only square in column 8 that can be <2>

R8C8 is the only square in column 8 that can be <7>

Squares R8C4 and R8C6 in row 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <39>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R8C7 - removing <3> from <1348> leaving <148>

R8C9 - removing <3> from <1346> leaving <146>

Squares R4C2 and R6C2 in column 2 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 column.

R3C2 - removing <4> from <348> leaving <38>

R9C2 - removing <14> from <147> leaving <7>

R2C3 is the only square in row 2 that can be <7>

Squares R8C3 and R9C3 in block 7 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 block.

R8C1 - removing <4> from <468> leaving <68>

Intersection of row 3 with block 1. The value <8> only appears in one or more of squares R3C1, R3C2 and R3C3 of row 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R2C1 - removing <8> from <468> leaving <46>

R2C2 - removing <8> from <368> leaving <36>
