R4C1 can only be <4>

R1C7 is the only square in row 1 that can be <5>

R3C2 is the only square in row 3 that can be <5>

R7C5 is the only square in row 7 that can be <5>

R4C6 is the only square in row 4 that can be <5>

R2C8 is the only square in column 8 that can be <3>

R2C2 can only be <4>

R8C2 can only be <2>

R5C3 is the only square in column 3 that can be <2>

R5C8 can only be <7>

R5C7 can only be <4>

R6C5 is the only square in row 6 that can be <4>

R8C3 is the only square in row 8 that can be <4>

R9C9 is the only square in row 9 that can be <4>

Squares R5C4 and R5C5 in row 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <68>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R5C6 - removing <6> from <136> leaving <13>

Squares R6C4 and R6C9 in row 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <29>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R6C6 - removing <2> from <123> leaving <13>

Squares R5C5 and R8C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <68>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R2C5 - removing <6> from <679> leaving <79>

R3C5 - removing <6> from <2679> leaving <279>

R2C3 is the only square in row 2 that can be <6>

Squares R4C9 and R6C9 in column 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <29>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C9 - removing <29> from <2679> leaving <67>

R3C9 - removing <29> from <26789> leaving <678>

R7C9 - removing <2> from <2678> leaving <678>

Intersection of row 1 with block 2. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R1C4, R1C5 and R1C6 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R3C5 - removing <2> from <279> leaving <79>

R4C5 is the only square in column 5 that can be <2>

R4C9 can only be <9>
