R1C4 is the only square in row 1 that can be <6>

R2C5 is the only square in row 2 that can be <9>

R8C4 is the only square in row 8 that can be <1>

Squares R2C2 and R6C2 in column 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <38>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R5C2 - removing <38> from <3489> leaving <49>

Intersection of column 7 with block 6. The values <235> only appears in one or more of squares R4C7, R5C7 and R6C7 of column 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain these values.

R4C8 - removing <2> from <2467> leaving <467>

R4C9 - removing <2> from <279> leaving <79>

R5C8 - removing <2> from <248> leaving <48>

R5C9 - removing <2> from <1289> leaving <189>

Squares R1C6<58>, R2C4<28> and R3C4<25> in block 2 form a comprehensive naked triplet. These 3 squares can only contain the 3 possibilities <258>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R2C6 - removing <28> from <2378> leaving <37>

R3C6 - removing <25> from <23457> leaving <347>

Intersection of column 6 with block 8. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R7C6, R8C6 and R9C6 of column 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R7C4 - removing <2> from <258> leaving <58>

Squares R9C5, R9C6, R3C5 and R3C6 form a Type-1 Unique Rectangle on <47>.
