Squares R4C5 and R5C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <15>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C5 - removing <15> from <124569> leaving <2469>

R3C5 - removing <5> from <24569> leaving <2469>

R7C5 - removing <15> from <12456> leaving <246>

R9C5 - removing <1> from <1246> leaving <246>

Intersection of row 2 with block 1. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R2C1, R2C2 and R2C3 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R3C2 - removing <9> from <23569> leaving <2356>

R3C3 - removing <9> from <2569> leaving <256>

Intersection of row 2 with block 2. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R2C4, R2C5 and R2C6 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C4 - removing <1> from <156> leaving <56>

R1C6 - removing <1> from <1245> leaving <245>

Intersection of row 4 with block 4. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R4C1, R4C2 and R4C3 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R6C2 - removing <2> from <2569> leaving <569>

Intersection of column 8 with block 3. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R1C8, R2C8 and R3C8 of column 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R3C9 - removing <4> from <46> leaving <6>

R6C9 can only be <2>

R9C5 is the only square in row 9 that can be <6>

R1C4 is the only square in row 1 that can be <6>
