R1C9 - removing <3> from <138> leaving <18>

Intersection of column 1 with block 7. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R7C1, R8C1 and R9C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R7C2 - removing <6> from <368> leaving <38>

R9C2 - removing <6> from <689> leaving <89>
