Squares R2C1 and R3C1 in block 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <36>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R1C2 - removing <3> from <3589> leaving <589>

R1C3 - removing <3> from <359> leaving <59>

R2C2 - removing <3> from <1389> leaving <189>

R3C2 - removing <3> from <13578> leaving <1578>

R3C3 - removing <3> from <1357> leaving <157>

Squares R9C2 and R9C3 in block 7 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <37>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R7C3 - removing <3> from <359> leaving <59>

Squares R1C3 and R7C3 in column 3 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 column.

R3C3 - removing <5> from <157> leaving <17>

Intersection of row 1 with block 3. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R1C7, R1C8 and R1C9 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R2C8 - removing <3> from <12369> leaving <1269>

R2C9 - removing <3> from <39> leaving <9>

R3C7 - removing <3> from <238> leaving <28>
