R8C4 can only be <1>

R8C6 can only be <7>

R8C3 can only be <2>

R9C5 can only be <3>

R8C7 can only be <4>

R7C4 can only be <8>

R7C6 can only be <5>

R3C4 is the only square in row 3 that can be <6>

R5C8 is the only square in row 5 that can be <4>

R6C2 is the only square in row 6 that can be <2>

R1C5 is the only square in column 5 that can be <4>

Squares R4C5 and R6C5 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <18>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R5C6 - removing <8> from <389> leaving <39>

Squares R5C4 and R5C6 in row 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <39>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R5C2 - removing <39> from <3789> leaving <78>

R5C3 - removing <39> from <359> leaving <5>

R3C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <5>

R1C1 is the only square in row 1 that can be <5>

R4C2 is the only square in block 4 that can be <9>

R4C1 is the only square in row 4 that can be <3>

Intersection of row 1 with block 3. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R1C7, R1C8 and R1C9 of row 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R3C8 - removing <9> from <1239> leaving <123>

R3C9 - removing <9> from <1289> leaving <128>

Squares R5C4, R5C6, R2C4 and R2C6 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <39>.

R2C6 - removing <39> from <389> leaving <8>
