Squares R3C1 and R3C8 in row 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <37>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R3C5 - removing <37> from <3579> leaving <59>

R3C6 - removing <3> from <359> leaving <59>

Squares R3C5 and R3C6 in block 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <59>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R2C5 - removing <9> from <3679> leaving <367>

R2C6 - removing <9> from <369> leaving <36>

Intersection of row 4 with block 5. The value <9> 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.

R5C5 - removing <9> from <359> leaving <35>

R6C5 - removing <9> from <35679> leaving <3567>

R6C6 - removing <9> from <3569> leaving <356>
