R2C2 is the only square in column 2 that can be <8>

R2C5 is the only square in column 5 that can be <3>

Intersection of row 1 with block 3. The value <8> only appears in one or more of squares R1C7, R1C8 and R1C9 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R3C8 - removing <8> from <2568> leaving <256>

Intersection of block 2 with row 3. The values <28> only appears in one or more of squares R3C4, R3C5 and R3C6 of block 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 3 cannot contain these values.

R3C3 - removing <2> from <269> leaving <69>

R3C8 - removing <2> from <256> leaving <56>

Squares R6C1<59>, R6C5<589> and R6C6<589> in row 6 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <589>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.
