R5C3 is the only square in block 4 that can be <4>

Squares R8C7 and R8C8 in block 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <67>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R7C7 - removing <67> from <45679> leaving <459>

R7C8 - removing <67> from <467> leaving <4>

R9C5 is the only square in row 9 that can be <4>

Intersection of row 2 with block 1. The values <12> only appears in one or more of squares R2C1, R2C2 and R2C3 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain these values.

R3C2 - removing <2> from <23> leaving <3>

R3C3 - removing <2> from <2367> leaving <367>

Intersection of row 6 with block 4. The values <25> only appears in one or more of squares R6C1, R6C2 and R6C3 of row 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain these values.

R5C2 - removing <25> from <125> leaving <1>

R2C2 can only be <2>

R2C1 can only be <4>
