R4C8 is the only square in row 4 that can be <2>

R8C8 is the only square in row 8 that can be <9>

R2C3 is the only square in column 3 that can be <7>

Squares R4C1 and R6C1 in column 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <78>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R7C1 - removing <8> from <1458> leaving <145>

R8C1 - removing <8> from <4568> leaving <456>

Intersection of column 7 with block 9. The values <37> only appears in one or more of squares R7C7, R8C7 and R9C7 of column 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain these values.

R7C9 - removing <7> from <1578> leaving <158>

R8C9 - removing <7> from <578> leaving <58>

Squares R4C9<78>, R6C9<578> and R8C9<58> in column 9 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <578>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R2C9 - removing <58> from <14568> leaving <146>

R3C9 - removing <5> from <456> leaving <46>

R7C9 - removing <58> from <158> leaving <1>
