R1C6 is the only square in row 1 that can be <8>

R2C7 is the only square in row 2 that can be <6>

R2C8 is the only square in row 2 that can be <7>

R4C2 is the only square in column 2 that can be <1>

R4C9 can only be <6>

R3C5 is the only square in column 5 that can be <1>

R1C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <9>

Intersection of row 2 with block 1. The value <3> 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.

R3C1 - removing <3> from <2349> leaving <249>

Intersection of column 1 with block 1. The value <2> 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.

R1C3 - removing <2> from <24> leaving <4>

R3C8 is the only square in block 3 that can be <4>

R3C7 is the only square in row 3 that can be <3>

R9C7 can only be <7>

R7C4 is the only square in row 7 that can be <7>

Squares R7C2 and R7C9 in row 7 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <34>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R7C5 - removing <3> from <235> leaving <25>

Intersection of row 9 with block 7. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R9C1, R9C2 and R9C3 of row 9. 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 <3> from <34> leaving <4>
