R6C7 is the only square in row 6 that can be <9>

Squares R2C2 and R4C2 in column 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <36>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R7C2 - removing <36> from <1367> leaving <17>

R8C2 - removing <6> from <679> leaving <79>

R9C2 - removing <36> from <1369> leaving <19>

Intersection of column 2 with block 7. The values <179> only appears in one or more of squares R7C2, R8C2 and R9C2 of column 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain these values.

R8C3 - removing <9> from <45689> leaving <4568>

R9C3 - removing <9> from <34569> leaving <3456>

Intersection of column 8 with block 3. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R1C8, R2C8 and R3C8 of column 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R1C7 - removing <3> from <3678> leaving <678>

R2C7 - removing <3> from <35678> leaving <5678>

R3C7 - removing <3> from <368> leaving <68>
