R3C4 is the only square in block 2 that can be <5>

R5C4 can only be <1>

R4C4 can only be <7>

R8C3 is the only square in block 7 that can be <7>

Squares R7C7 and R7C9 in block 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <17>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R9C7 - removing <1> from <135> leaving <35>

R9C9 - removing <1> from <1356> leaving <356>

Intersection of column 1 with block 4. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R4C1, R5C1 and R6C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R4C2 - removing <5> from <156> leaving <16>

Intersection of block 1 with column 1. The values <17> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R2C1 and R3C1 of block 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with column 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of column 1 cannot contain these values.

R4C1 - removing <1> from <1569> leaving <569>

R6C1 - removing <1> from <159> leaving <59>

Squares R6C1 and R6C6 in row 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <59>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R6C3 - removing <9> from <19> leaving <1>

R6C8 - removing <5> from <1357> leaving <137>

R6C9 - removing <59> from <13579> leaving <137>
