Reasoning 



R4C1 can only be <2>

R4C4 can only be <3>

R4C5 is the only square in row 4 that can be <5>

R6C9 is the only square in row 6 that can be <3>

R5C8 is the only square in block 6 that can be <6>

Squares R6C1 and R6C4 in row 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <48>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R6C6 - removing <4> from <469> leaving <69>

Squares R6C5 and R6C6 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <69>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C6 - removing <9> from <79> leaving <7>

R5C5 - removing <9> from <1279> leaving <127>

Intersection of row 3 with block 1. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R3C1, R3C2 and R3C3 of row 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.
