R4C5 is the only square in row 4 that can be <6>

R5C6 is the only square in row 5 that can be <3>

R5C7 is the only square in row 5 that can be <7>

R8C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <1>

Squares R2C4 and R5C4 in column 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <24>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R3C4 - removing <4> from <489> leaving <89>

R7C4 - removing <4> from <468> leaving <68>

R9C4 - removing <4> from <4689> leaving <689>

Squares R4C9 and R5C9 in column 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <24>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C9 - removing <2> from <268> leaving <68>

R7C9 - removing <4> from <3468> leaving <368>

R9C9 - removing <4> from <3468> leaving <368>

Squares R3C4<89>, R3C5<49> and R3C6<48> in row 3 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <489>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R3C1 - removing <4> from <146> leaving <16>

R3C7 - removing <8> from <168> leaving <16>

Intersection of row 3 with block 2. The values <489> only appears in one or more of squares R3C4, R3C5 and R3C6 of row 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain these values.
