R2C8 can only be <8>

R3C8 can only be <7>

R5C1 can only be <7>

R3C1 is the only square in row 3 that can be <4>

R5C3 is the only square in row 5 that can be <9>

R6C3 is the only square in row 6 that can be <4>

R7C1 is the only square in row 7 that can be <1>

R7C5 is the only square in row 7 that can be <4>

R8C7 is the only square in row 8 that can be <4>

R8C3 is the only square in row 8 that can be <5>

R4C3 is the only square in block 4 that can be <2>

R4C6 can only be <1>

Squares R5C5 and R6C6 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <28>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R6C4 - removing <28> from <2678> leaving <67>

Squares R7C8 and R8C8 in block 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <23>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R7C9 - removing <3> from <356> leaving <56>

R9C7 - removing <2> from <256> leaving <56>

Intersection of row 2 with block 1. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R2C1, R2C2 and R2C3 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R1C3 - removing <3> from <136> leaving <16>

Intersection of row 9 with block 8. The values <28> only appears in one or more of squares R9C4, R9C5 and R9C6 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain these values.

R7C4 - removing <2> from <259> leaving <59>

R7C6 - removing <2> from <2359> leaving <359>

Squares R8C2, R8C8, R7C2 and R7C8 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <23>.

R7C2 - removing <23> from <236> leaving <6>

R7C9 can only be <5>

R3C2 can only be <9>
