R4C8 is the only square in row 4 that can be <8>

R3C3 is the only square in column 3 that can be <4>

R6C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <4>

R5C8 is the only square in column 8 that can be <6>

R5C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <2>

Squares R1C1 and R1C2 in row 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <69>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R1C5 - removing <9> from <1459> leaving <145>

R1C8 - removing <9> from <1459> leaving <145>

Squares R1C1 and R1C2 in block 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <69>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R2C1 - removing <69> from <2679> leaving <27>

R2C2 - removing <69> from <2679> leaving <27>

Squares R2C1 and R2C2 in row 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <27>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R2C4 - removing <2> from <12469> leaving <1469>

R2C5 - removing <2> from <1249> leaving <149>

R2C6 - removing <2> from <269> leaving <69>

Intersection of row 7 with block 8. The value <8> only appears in one or more of squares R7C4, R7C5 and R7C6 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R8C5 - removing <8> from <2478> leaving <247>

R8C6 - removing <8> from <238> leaving <23>

R9C5 - removing <8> from <2489> leaving <249>

Intersection of row 9 with block 7. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R9C1, R9C2 and R9C3 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R7C3 - removing <6> from <67> leaving <7>
