Reasoning 



R3C3 can only be <3>

R4C6 can only be <9>

R1C4 is the only square in row 1 that can be <9>

R6C9 is the only square in row 6 that can be <9>

R8C5 is the only square in row 8 that can be <9>

R9C2 is the only square in row 9 that can be <1>

R9C3 is the only square in row 9 that can be <9>

Intersection of row 7 with block 9. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R7C7, R7C8 and R7C9 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R8C8 - removing <3> from <2356> leaving <256>

R8C9 - removing <3> from <3456> leaving <456>

Intersection of row 9 with block 8. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R9C4, R9C5 and R9C6 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R7C5 - removing <4> from <47> leaving <7>

R8C4 - removing <4> from <3457> leaving <357>

R8C6 - removing <4> from <234> leaving <23>

R4C4 is the only square in column 4 that can be <7>

R4C2 is the only square in row 4 that can be <8>

R6C4 is the only square in row 6 that can be <8>

Intersection of column 9 with block 3. The value <1> 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 this value.

R1C8 - removing <1> from <1367> leaving <367>

R2C8 - removing <1> from <13678> leaving <3678>
