R5C4 can only be <5>

R1C6 can only be <8>

R7C9 can only be <4>

R7C8 can only be <7>

R3C6 can only be <4>

R3C2 is the only square in row 3 that can be <7>

R3C1 is the only square in row 3 that can be <2>

R3C8 is the only square in row 3 that can be <8>

R4C7 is the only square in row 4 that can be <7>

R5C8 is the only square in row 5 that can be <1>

R8C8 can only be <3>

R8C9 can only be <1>

R4C1 is the only square in row 4 that can be <1>

R6C2 is the only square in row 6 that can be <2>

Squares R2C1 and R7C1 in column 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <89>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R6C1 - removing <89> from <5689> leaving <56>

Intersection of row 5 with block 4. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R5C1, R5C2 and R5C3 of row 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R6C3 - removing <9> from <489> leaving <48>

Intersection of column 3 with block 4. The values <48> only appears in one or more of squares R4C3, R5C3 and R6C3 of column 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain these values.

R5C2 - removing <8> from <389> leaving <39>

Squares R2C2<389>, R5C2<39> and R7C2<89> in column 2 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <389>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C2 - removing <3> from <356> leaving <56>

Squares R7C1, R7C2, R2C1 and R2C2 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <89>.
