R2C8 is the only square in row 2 that can be <8>

R7C2 is the only square in row 7 that can be <2>

R6C1 is the only square in column 1 that can be <8>

R6C6 is the only square in row 6 that can be <9>

R2C5 is the only square in column 5 that can be <2>

Squares R1C1 and R7C1 in column 1 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.

R2C1 - removing <4> from <149> leaving <19>

R4C1 - removing <4> from <149> leaving <19>

Intersection of row 3 with block 2. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R3C4, R3C5 and R3C6 of row 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R2C4 - removing <1> from <1345> leaving <345>

Intersection of row 4 with block 5. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R4C4, R4C5 and R4C6 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 5. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 5 cannot contain this value.

R5C4 - removing <7> from <13478> leaving <1348>

R5C5 - removing <7> from <1347> leaving <134>

R5C6 - removing <7> from <13478> leaving <1348>

Intersection of row 6 with block 6. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R6C7, R6C8 and R6C9 of row 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.

R5C7 - removing <6> from <467> leaving <47>

R5C8 - removing <6> from <1567> leaving <157>

Intersection of row 7 with block 8. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R7C4, R7C5 and R7C6 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R9C4 - removing <3> from <378> leaving <78>

R9C5 - removing <3> from <37> leaving <7>

R9C4 can only be <8>
