Squares R1C5 and R1C6 in row 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <14>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R1C1 - removing <14> from <12456> leaving <256>

R1C3 - removing <14> from <12457> leaving <257>

R1C7 - removing <4> from <2457> leaving <257>

R1C9 - removing <4> from <24567> leaving <2567>

Squares R9C4 and R9C5 in row 9 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.

R9C1 - removing <48> from <1468> leaving <16>

R9C3 - removing <48> from <148> leaving <1>

R9C7 - removing <48> from <4789> leaving <79>

R9C9 - removing <48> from <46789> leaving <679>

R9C1 can only be <6>

R1C9 is the only square in row 1 that can be <6>
