Squares R5C1 and R5C5 in row 5 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 row.

R5C9 - removing <6> from <246> leaving <24>

Squares R4C8 and R6C8 in column 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <36>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C8 - removing <3> from <137> leaving <17>

R9C8 - removing <6> from <167> leaving <17>

Intersection of column 1 with block 1. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R2C1 and R3C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R1C3 - removing <3> from <378> leaving <78>

Squares R6C3, R6C8, R4C3 and R4C8 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <36>.
