R8C5 can only be <6>

R1C2 is the only square in row 1 that can be <4>

R2C8 is the only square in row 2 that can be <9>

R9C2 is the only square in column 2 that can be <2>

Squares R9C7 and R9C8 in row 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <37>. 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 <1369> leaving <169>

R9C3 - removing <3> from <1369> leaving <169>

R9C9 - removing <7> from <147> leaving <14>

Squares R3C4 and R6C4 in column 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <37>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C4 - removing <7> from <679> leaving <69>

R5C4 - removing <3> from <1369> leaving <169>

Squares R9C7 and R9C8 in block 9 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <37>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R8C8 - removing <3> from <38> leaving <8>

R5C8 can only be <2>

Intersection of row 2 with block 1. The value <3> 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.

R1C1 - removing <3> from <13678> leaving <1678>

R1C3 - removing <3> from <1368> leaving <168>

R3C1 - removing <3> from <35678> leaving <5678>

R3C3 - removing <3> from <3568> leaving <568>
