Squares R3C3 and R4C3 in column 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <12>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R7C3 - removing <12> from <1279> leaving <79>

Intersection of row 7 with block 7. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R7C1, R7C2 and R7C3 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R8C2 - removing <7> from <1279> leaving <129>

Intersection of row 7 with block 8. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R7C4, R7C5 and R7C6 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R9C6 - removing <6> from <169> leaving <19>

Intersection of row 9 with block 9. The values <26> only appears in one or more of squares R9C7, R9C8 and R9C9 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain these values.

R8C7 - removing <2> from <257> leaving <57>

R8C9 - removing <2> from <259> leaving <59>

Squares R2C2, R2C3, R7C2 and R7C3 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <79>.
