Squares R9C7 and R9C9 in row 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <16>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R9C1 - removing <6> from <689> leaving <89>

R9C3 - removing <16> from <15689> leaving <589>

R9C6 - removing <1> from <158> leaving <58>

Squares R2C8 and R3C8 in block 3 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.

R1C7 - removing <6> from <156> leaving <15>

R1C9 - removing <6> from <1456> leaving <145>

R3C7 - removing <6> from <1356> leaving <135>

R3C9 - removing <6> from <13456> leaving <1345>

Intersection of row 1 with block 1. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R1C2 and R1C3 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R2C2 - removing <6> from <16> leaving <1>

R2C3 - removing <6> from <1689> leaving <189>

R3C3 - removing <6> from <14689> leaving <1489>
