Squares R7C6 and R9C6 in column 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <17>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C6 - removing <1> from <126> leaving <26>

R3C6 - removing <1> from <1246> leaving <246>

R4C6 - removing <7> from <367> leaving <36>

R6C6 - removing <7> from <347> leaving <34>

Intersection of row 5 with block 6. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R5C7, R5C8 and R5C9 of row 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R6C7 - removing <4> from <345> leaving <35>

Intersection of row 6 with block 4. The value <8> only appears in one or more of squares R6C1, R6C2 and R6C3 of row 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R5C2 - removing <8> from <78> leaving <7>

R5C3 - removing <8> from <1378> leaving <137>
