R6C6 can only be <7>

R3C8 is the only square in row 3 that can be <7>

R9C3 is the only square in row 9 that can be <7>

R5C2 is the only square in row 5 that can be <7>

R1C1 is the only square in column 1 that can be <2>

Squares R1C4 and R1C6 in row 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <59>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R1C3 - removing <59> from <13459> leaving <134>

R1C9 - removing <9> from <1349> leaving <134>

R3C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <9>

R3C7 is the only square in row 3 that can be <8>

Squares R1C4 and R1C6 in block 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <59>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R2C5 - removing <9> from <469> leaving <46>

R3C5 - removing <5> from <456> leaving <46>

Squares R2C5 and R3C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <46>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C5 - removing <6> from <1689> leaving <189>

R7C5 - removing <6> from <5689> leaving <589>

R1C3 - removing <3> from <134> leaving <14>

Intersection of row 9 with block 9. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R9C7, R9C8 and R9C9 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.
