Intersection of column 1 with block 1. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R2C1 and R3C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R3C3 - removing <3> from <12348> leaving <1248>

Intersection of block 6 with column 8. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R4C8, R5C8 and R6C8 of block 6. 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 <4> from <124> leaving <12>

Squares R1C7<128>, R1C9<128> and R2C8<12> in block 3 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <128>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R2C7 - removing <128> from <12458> leaving <45>

R3C9 - removing <128> from <12458> leaving <45>

Intersection of row 2 with block 1. The value <8> 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 <8> from <1238> leaving <123>

R3C1 - removing <8> from <1238> leaving <123>

R3C3 - removing <8> from <1248> leaving <124>
