R3C6 is the only square in block 2 that can be <9>

R4C6 can only be <4>

R2C6 can only be <1>

Intersection of row 5 with block 4. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R5C1, R5C2 and R5C3 of row 5. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R6C1 - removing <1> from <159> leaving <59>

R6C2 - removing <1> from <1358> leaving <358>

Intersection of block 6 with row 5. The values <48> only appears in one or more of squares R5C7, R5C8 and R5C9 of block 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with row 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of row 5 cannot contain these values.

R5C2 - removing <8> from <1368> leaving <136>

Squares R1C2<36>, R3C2<16> and R5C2<136> in column 2 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <136>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R2C2 - removing <36> from <2356> leaving <25>

R4C2 - removing <6> from <268> leaving <28>

R6C2 - removing <3> from <358> leaving <58>
