R7C6 is the only square in row 7 that can be <4>

R2C5 is the only square in row 2 that can be <4>

R9C1 is the only square in column 1 that can be <8>

Intersection of row 3 with block 2. The values <25> only appears in one or more of squares R3C4, R3C5 and R3C6 of row 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain these values.

R1C5 - removing <5> from <357> leaving <37>

R2C4 - removing <5> from <35679> leaving <3679>

Intersection of column 3 with block 4. The values <36> only appears in one or more of squares R4C3, R5C3 and R6C3 of column 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain these values.

R4C2 - removing <3> from <1238> leaving <128>

R5C2 - removing <3> from <12379> leaving <1279>

R6C2 - removing <3> from <12378> leaving <1278>

Intersection of column 7 with block 6. The values <38> only appears in one or more of squares R4C7, R5C7 and R6C7 of column 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain these values.

R5C9 - removing <3> from <135> leaving <15>

Intersection of block 9 with column 8. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R7C8, R8C8 and R9C8 of block 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with column 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of column 8 cannot contain this value.

R2C8 - removing <1> from <1579> leaving <579>

R4C8 - removing <1> from <1256> leaving <256>

R5C8 - removing <1> from <1256> leaving <256>

Squares R4C7<138>, R5C7<13> and R6C7<138> in column 7 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <138>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R3C7 - removing <1> from <179> leaving <79>
