R5C9 can only be <7>

R2C7 can only be <1>

R7C9 can only be <3>

R9C9 can only be <2>

R1C9 can only be <9>

R3C9 can only be <8>

R9C7 can only be <4>

R8C7 can only be <5>

R8C8 can only be <1>

R5C6 is the only square in row 5 that can be <9>

R7C2 is the only square in row 7 that can be <9>

R9C1 is the only square in column 1 that can be <3>

Squares R2C6 and R2C8 in row 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <23>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R2C2 - removing <2> from <258> leaving <58>

R2C3 - removing <2> from <268> leaving <68>

R2C4 - removing <3> from <356> leaving <56>

Squares R4C4 and R4C8 in row 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <46>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R4C5 - removing <46> from <2468> leaving <28>

Intersection of column 4 with block 5. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R4C4, R5C4 and R6C4 of column 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain this value.

R5C5 - removing <1> from <1256> leaving <256>

R6C5 - removing <1> from <1346> leaving <346>

Intersection of block 4 with row 5. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R5C1, R5C2 and R5C3 of block 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 5 cannot contain this value.

R5C4 - removing <6> from <156> leaving <15>

R5C5 - removing <6> from <256> leaving <25>

Squares R4C4, R4C8, R6C4 and R6C8 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <46>.

R6C4 - removing <46> from <1346> leaving <13>

Squares R6C2<17>, R6C4<13> and R6C6<37> in row 6 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <137>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R6C5 - removing <3> from <346> leaving <46>

R3C5 is the only square in column 5 that can be <3>

R3C8 can only be <2>
