R4C5 - removing <45> from <1345> leaving <13>

R5C5 - removing <4> from <134> leaving <13>

Squares R5C2 and R5C5 in row 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <13>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R5C8 - removing <3> from <3469> leaving <469>

Intersection of row 2 with block 3. The values <345> only appears in one or more of squares R2C7, R2C8 and R2C9 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain these values.

R1C8 - removing <45> from <2456> leaving <26>

R3C9 - removing <3> from <236> leaving <26>

R2C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <3>

Intersection of row 9 with block 9. The value <6> 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.
