R1C2 - removing <23> from <23467> leaving <467>

R1C3 - removing <23> from <2367> leaving <67>

R3C2 - removing <23> from <2346> leaving <46>

Squares R4C5 and R6C5 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <68>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C4 - removing <8> from <128> leaving <12>

R6C6 - removing <8> from <128> leaving <12>

Squares R3C6 and R6C6 in column 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <12>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.
