R9C3 can only be <9>

R9C9 can only be <8>

R9C4 can only be <2>

R9C6 can only be <3>

R5C4 can only be <6>

Intersection of row 2 with block 2. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R2C4, R2C5 and R2C6 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C6 - removing <6> from <256> leaving <25>

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.

R2C3 - removing <4> from <247> leaving <27>

Intersection of column 8 with block 6. The values <128> only appears in one or more of squares R4C8, R5C8 and R6C8 of column 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain these values.

R4C7 - removing <2> from <2369> leaving <369>

R5C7 - removing <2> from <237> leaving <37>

Squares R5C2 and R5C7 in row 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <37>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R5C3 - removing <7> from <78> leaving <8>

R4C3 can only be <4>

R4C4 can only be <9>

R8C4 can only be <5>
