R1C8 - removing <9> from <1249> leaving <124>

R1C9 - removing <39> from <1239> leaving <12>

R2C8 - removing <9> from <49> leaving <4>

Squares R2C1 and R4C1 in column 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <39>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R6C7 is the only square in row 6 that can be <7>

Squares R1C9 and R6C9 in column 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <12>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C9 - removing <1> from <139> leaving <39>

Intersection of row 1 with block 2. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R1C4, R1C5 and R1C6 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R3C4 - removing <9> from <459> leaving <45>

R3C6 - removing <9> from <349> leaving <34>

Squares R3C7 and R4C1 form a remote naked pair. <39> can be removed from any square that is common to their groups.
