Squares R1C5 and R3C5 in block 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <36>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R1C6 - removing <3> from <138> leaving <18>

R2C4 - removing <3> from <138> leaving <18>

Intersection of row 2 with block 3. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R2C7, R2C8 and R2C9 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R1C8 - removing <3> from <1238> leaving <128>

R3C9 - removing <3> from <123> leaving <12>

Intersection of row 3 with block 1. The value <8> only appears in one or more of squares R3C1, R3C2 and R3C3 of row 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R1C1 - removing <8> from <238> leaving <23>

Intersection of column 9 with block 9. The value <3> only appears in one or more of squares R7C9, R8C9 and R9C9 of column 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R7C8 - removing <3> from <1368> leaving <168>

R8C7 - removing <3> from <38> leaving <8>

R9C8 - removing <3> from <2368> leaving <268>

R8C3 can only be <3>

R6C3 can only be <1>

R7C1 can only be <8>

R6C2 can only be <3>

R3C3 can only be <8>

Squares R2C7 and R5C4 form a remote naked pair. <13> can be removed from any square that is common to their groups.

R2C4 - removing <1> from <18> leaving <8>
