R1C8 is the only square in row 1 that can be <5>

R8C3 is the only square in row 8 that can be <9>

R9C6 is the only square in row 9 that can be <1>

R9C9 is the only square in row 9 that can be <4>

R2C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <9>

Squares R4C5 and R5C5 in column 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <26>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C5 - removing <6> from <6789> leaving <789>

R2C5 - removing <6> from <4678> leaving <478>

R9C5 - removing <6> from <689> leaving <89>

Squares R2C7 and R3C7 in column 7 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <48>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C7 - removing <8> from <1278> leaving <127>

R7C7 - removing <8> from <678> leaving <67>

R8C7 - removing <8> from <68> leaving <6>

R8C1 can only be <3>

R7C7 can only be <7>

R6C7 can only be <9>

R8C9 can only be <8>

R5C9 can only be <3>

R9C8 can only be <3>

R6C8 can only be <7>

R6C2 can only be <3>

R5C8 can only be <8>

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

Intersection of row 2 with block 1. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R2C1, R2C2 and R2C3 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R1C2 - removing <6> from <678> leaving <78>

Squares R3C5, R3C7, R2C5 and R2C7 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <48>.

R2C5 - removing <48> from <478> leaving <7>
