R8C1 is the only square in row 8 that can be <5>

Squares R8C6 and R9C6 in column 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <19>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C6 - removing <1> from <147> leaving <47>

Squares R5C5 and R5C6 in row 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <47>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R5C9 - removing <47> from <1467> leaving <16>

R6C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <4>

Intersection of column 1 with block 7. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R7C1, R8C1 and R9C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R8C2 - removing <9> from <149> leaving <14>

R8C6 is the only square in row 8 that can be <9>

R9C6 can only be <1>

Intersection of column 9 with block 3. The values <79> only appears in one or more of squares R1C9, R2C9 and R3C9 of column 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain these values.
