R6C9 - removing <58> from <1358> leaving <13>

Squares R4C5 and R6C5 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <58>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R5C4 - removing <58> from <4568> leaving <46>

R5C6 - removing <8> from <468> leaving <46>

Intersection of row 4 with block 6. The value <9> only appears in one or more of squares R4C7, R4C8 and R4C9 of row 4. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 6. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 6 cannot contain this value.
