Squares R9C8 and R9C9 in block 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <79>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R8C9 - removing <7> from <147> leaving <14>

Intersection of row 3 with block 3. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R3C7, R3C8 and R3C9 of row 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R1C9 - removing <1> from <134> leaving <34>

Intersection of column 7 with block 3. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R1C7, R2C7 and R3C7 of column 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R2C9 - removing <9> from <3479> leaving <347>

R3C8 - removing <9> from <179> leaving <17>
