Squares R3C2 and R7C2 in column 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <78>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C2 - removing <78> from <2678> leaving <26>

R6C2 - removing <78> from <2678> leaving <26>

Squares R6C2 and R6C7 in row 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <26>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R6C5 - removing <26> from <24678> leaving <478>

R6C8 - removing <26> from <2467> leaving <47>

Intersection of row 5 with block 5. The values <267> only appears in one or more of squares R5C4, R5C5 and R5C6 of row 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain these values.

R4C5 - removing <267> from <24678> leaving <48>

R6C5 - removing <7> from <478> leaving <48>

Squares R4C5 and R6C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <48>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R2C5 - removing <4> from <2347> leaving <237>

R8C5 - removing <48> from <34678> leaving <367>

R9C5 - removing <8> from <78> leaving <7>
