Squares R9C4 and R9C6 in row 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <38>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R9C1 - removing <3> from <369> leaving <69>

R9C9 - removing <3> from <2369> leaving <269>

Squares R2C1 and R9C1 in column 1 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <69>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R8C1 - removing <6> from <136> leaving <13>

Intersection of column 7 with block 9. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R7C7, R8C7 and R9C7 of column 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R8C9 - removing <3> from <356> leaving <56>

Squares R5C9<35>, R6C9<36> and R8C9<56> in column 9 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <356>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R9C9 - removing <6> from <269> leaving <29>
