R7C1 - removing <9> from <139> leaving <13>

R7C8 - removing <4> from <134> leaving <13>

Intersection of column 1 with block 1. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R2C1 and R3C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.
