Squares R3C9 and R7C9 in column 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <45>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C9 - removing <4> from <24> leaving <2>

R5C9 - removing <4> from <1248> leaving <128>

R5C6 is the only square in row 5 that can be <2>

Intersection of row 1 with block 1. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R1C2 and R1C3 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R3C3 - removing <5> from <457> leaving <47>

Intersection of column 5 with block 5. The values <59> only appears in one or more of squares R4C5, R5C5 and R6C5 of column 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain these values.

R5C4 - removing <9> from <489> leaving <48>

Squares R2C4 and R5C4 in column 4 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.

R1C4 - removing <4> from <479> leaving <79>

R3C4 - removing <4> from <479> leaving <79>

Squares R7C8, R7C9, R3C8 and R3C9 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <45>.
