Squares R1C5 and R3C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <56>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C5 - removing <5> from <125> leaving <12>

R7C5 - removing <56> from <12568> leaving <128>

R8C5 - removing <56> from <1568> leaving <18>

Intersection of row 4 with block 6. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R4C7, R4C8 and R4C9 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R5C7 - removing <1> from <1248> leaving <248>

R5C8 - removing <1> from <138> leaving <38>

R6C7 - removing <1> from <12468> leaving <2468>

R6C8 - removing <1> from <168> leaving <68>

Intersection of row 5 with block 4. The value <5> 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.

R6C2 - removing <5> from <56> leaving <6>

R6C3 - removing <5> from <1458> leaving <148>

R6C8 can only be <8>

R4C2 can only be <3>

R5C8 can only be <3>

R5C2 can only be <5>

R1C7 is the only square in row 1 that can be <8>

Intersection of row 8 with block 8. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R8C4, R8C5 and R8C6 of row 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R7C4 - removing <5> from <156> leaving <16>

R7C6 - removing <5> from <245> leaving <24>

R7C3 is the only square in row 7 that can be <5>
