R1C2 is the only square in row 1 that can be <8>

R1C5 is the only square in row 1 that can be <9>

R4C5 is the only square in row 4 that can be <8>

R4C6 is the only square in row 4 that can be <9>

R5C8 is the only square in row 5 that can be <9>

R5C9 is the only square in row 5 that can be <8>

R6C6 is the only square in row 6 that can be <4>

R7C8 is the only square in row 7 that can be <2>

R8C1 is the only square in row 8 that can be <1>

R7C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <4>

R8C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <6>

R1C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <1>

Intersection of column 4 with block 5. The values <36> only appears in one or more of squares R4C4, R5C4 and R6C4 of column 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain these values.

R5C5 - removing <36> from <123567> leaving <1257>

R6C5 - removing <36> from <3567> leaving <57>

Squares R5C6 and R6C5 in block 5 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.

R4C4 - removing <7> from <37> leaving <3>

R5C4 - removing <7> from <12367> leaving <1236>

R5C5 - removing <57> from <1257> leaving <12>

R6C4 - removing <7> from <367> leaving <36>

R4C1 can only be <5>

R6C4 can only be <6>

R4C7 can only be <7>

R3C2 is the only square in column 2 that can be <5>

Intersection of column 4 with block 2. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R1C4, R2C4 and R3C4 of column 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R3C5 - removing <7> from <127> leaving <12>

Squares R5C4, R5C5, R3C4 and R3C5 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <12>.

R3C4 - removing <12> from <127> leaving <7>
