Squares R7C1 and R8C2 in block 7 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <34>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R8C1 - removing <34> from <2349> leaving <29>

Intersection of column 4 with block 5. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R4C4, R5C4 and R6C4 of column 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain this value.

R4C5 - removing <1> from <136> leaving <36>

R6C5 - removing <1> from <134> leaving <34>

Intersection of block 2 with row 3. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R3C4, R3C5 and R3C6 of block 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 3 cannot contain this value.

R3C1 - removing <2> from <23469> leaving <3469>

R3C3 - removing <2> from <2469> leaving <469>

Intersection of block 6 with column 7. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R4C7, R5C7 and R6C7 of block 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with column 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of column 7 cannot contain this value.

R3C7 - removing <3> from <3469> leaving <469>

R7C7 - removing <3> from <346> leaving <46>
