R7C6 is the only square in column 6 that can be <1>

Squares R6C7 and R6C8 in row 6 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 row.

R6C1 - removing <1> from <158> leaving <58>

Intersection of column 6 with block 2. The values <26> only appears in one or more of squares R1C6, R2C6 and R3C6 of column 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain these values.

R3C4 - removing <26> from <256> leaving <5>

R3C5 can only be <7>

Squares R3C1<13>, R3C3<14> and R3C9<34> in row 3 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <134>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R3C7 - removing <14> from <1246> leaving <26>

Intersection of row 3 with block 1. The value <1> 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.
