Squares R7C8 and R7C9 in row 7 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <14>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R7C2 - removing <4> from <247> leaving <27>

R7C5 - removing <14> from <1247> leaving <27>

Intersection of row 2 with block 2. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R2C4, R2C5 and R2C6 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C6 - removing <5> from <1345> leaving <134>

Intersection of row 6 with block 5. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R6C4, R6C5 and R6C6 of row 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain this value.

R5C4 - removing <1> from <145> leaving <45>

Intersection of column 7 with block 3. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R1C7, R2C7 and R3C7 of column 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R1C8 - removing <1> from <1345> leaving <345>

R3C8 - removing <1> from <134> leaving <34>

Squares R7C8, R7C9, R5C8 and R5C9 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <14>.

R5C8 - removing <14> from <145> leaving <5>

R5C4 can only be <4>

R4C7 can only be <4>
