R8C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <4>

Squares R7C6 and R8C5 in block 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <16>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R9C5 - removing <16> from <146> leaving <4>

R9C6 - removing <16> from <1346> leaving <34>

R9C6 can only be <3>

R2C3 is the only square in row 2 that can be <4>

Intersection of row 5 with block 4. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R5C1, R5C2 and R5C3 of row 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R4C1 - removing <1> from <129> leaving <29>

Intersection of block 5 with row 5. The values <245> only appears in one or more of squares R5C4, R5C5 and R5C6 of block 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 5 cannot contain these values.

R5C1 - removing <2> from <1269> leaving <169>

Intersection of block 9 with row 9. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R9C7, R9C8 and R9C9 of block 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 9 cannot contain this value.

R9C1 - removing <6> from <167> leaving <17>

R9C2 - removing <6> from <1678> leaving <178>

Squares R3C3 and R7C6 form a remote naked pair. <16> can be removed from any square that is common to their groups.

R3C6 - removing <16> from <146> leaving <4>

R3C4 can only be <3>

R5C6 can only be <2>
