Intersection of row 6 with block 6. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R6C7, R6C8 and R6C9 of row 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R4C7 - removing <3> from <2346> leaving <246>

R4C9 - removing <3> from <237> leaving <27>

R5C7 - removing <3> from <134> leaving <14>

R5C8 - removing <3> from <1347> leaving <147>

Squares R2C1 and R2C8 in row 2 and R6C1 and R6C8 in row 6 form a Simple X-Wing pattern on possibility <7>. All other instances of this possibility in columns 1 and 8 can be removed.

R1C8 - removing <7> from <1347> leaving <134>

R4C1 - removing <7> from <467> leaving <46>

R5C8 - removing <7> from <147> leaving <14>

Squares R5C7 and R5C8 in row 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <14>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R5C2 - removing <4> from <348> leaving <38>

Squares R5C7 and R5C8 in block 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <14>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C7 - removing <4> from <246> leaving <26>

Squares R5C7, R5C8, R1C7 and R1C8 form a Type-2 Unique Rectangle on <14>.
