R6C2 can only be <1>

R2C2 is the only square in row 2 that can be <2>

R2C1 is the only square in row 2 that can be <5>

R3C9 is the only square in row 3 that can be <4>

R1C1 is the only square in column 1 that can be <1>

R2C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <3>

Intersection of row 3 with block 1. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R3C1, R3C2 and R3C3 of row 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R1C3 - removing <7> from <679> leaving <69>

Squares R1C3 and R5C3 in column 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <69>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R3C3 - removing <69> from <679> leaving <7>

R6C3 - removing <6> from <36> leaving <3>

R8C3 - removing <9> from <2579> leaving <257>

R9C1 is the only square in row 9 that can be <3>

Intersection of row 4 with block 5. The values <39> only appears in one or more of squares R4C4, R4C5 and R4C6 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain these values.

R5C4 - removing <9> from <12469> leaving <1246>

R5C5 - removing <9> from <146789> leaving <14678>

Intersection of row 6 with block 5. The values <25> only appears in one or more of squares R6C4, R6C5 and R6C6 of row 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain these values.

R4C5 - removing <5> from <14569> leaving <1469>

R4C6 - removing <5> from <135> leaving <13>

R5C4 - removing <2> from <1246> leaving <146>

R5C6 - removing <2> from <1278> leaving <178>

Intersection of block 1 with row 3. The value <8> only appears in one or more of squares R3C1, R3C2 and R3C3 of block 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 3 cannot contain this value.
