Squares R4C2 and R4C4 in row 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <46>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R4C5 - removing <46> from <3468> leaving <38>

R4C8 - removing <4> from <348> leaving <38>

Squares R8C5 and R8C6 in row 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <58>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R8C8 - removing <5> from <459> leaving <49>

Intersection of row 2 with block 2. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R2C4, R2C5 and R2C6 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C5 - removing <4> from <456> leaving <56>

Intersection of column 5 with block 2. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R1C5, R2C5 and R3C5 of column 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R2C4 - removing <6> from <456> leaving <45>

Squares R4C2, R4C4, R6C2 and R6C4 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <46>.
