R2C6 can only be <5>

Squares R4C7 and R6C7 in block 6 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <45>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R6C8 - removing <4> from <468> leaving <68>

Intersection of row 5 with block 4. The value <5> 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.

R4C2 - removing <5> from <456> leaving <46>

R6C1 - removing <5> from <458> leaving <48>

R7C1 is the only square in column 1 that can be <5>

Squares R4C2 and R7C2 in column 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <46>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C2 - removing <6> from <568> leaving <58>

Intersection of row 8 with block 9. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R8C7, R8C8 and R8C9 of row 8. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R9C8 - removing <6> from <468> leaving <48>

Squares R1C2, R1C3, R5C2 and R5C3 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <58>.

R5C3 - removing <58> from <568> leaving <6>
