Intersection of column 1 with block 7. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R7C1, R8C1 and R9C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R9C3 - removing <4> from <346> leaving <36>

Squares R1C4<234>, R2C4<23> and R7C4<34> in column 4 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <234>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C4 - removing <3> from <368> leaving <68>

R9C4 - removing <234> from <23468> leaving <68>

Intersection of column 4 with block 2. The value <2> 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.

R1C5 - removing <2> from <234> leaving <34>

Squares R2C4, R2C9, R1C4 and R1C9 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <23>.
