R3C8 can only be <7>

R2C7 is the only square in row 2 that can be <5>

R3C3 is the only square in row 3 that can be <1>

Intersection of row 2 with block 2. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R2C4, R2C5 and R2C6 of row 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 2. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 2 cannot contain this value.

R1C4 - removing <2> from <2479> leaving <479>

Intersection of row 9 with block 7. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R9C1, R9C2 and R9C3 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R7C1 - removing <5> from <578> leaving <78>

R8C2 - removing <5> from <23457> leaving <2347>

Intersection of column 1 with block 1. The value <4> only appears in one or more of squares R1C1, R2C1 and R3C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 1. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 1 cannot contain this value.

R3C2 - removing <4> from <49> leaving <9>

R3C9 can only be <4>

R5C1 is the only square in column 1 that can be <9>

R5C8 is the only square in row 5 that can be <8>

R7C7 is the only square in row 7 that can be <7>

R1C9 is the only square in column 9 that can be <9>

Squares R4C6 and R5C5 in block 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <23>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R4C5 - removing <23> from <23469> leaving <469>

R5C4 - removing <2> from <127> leaving <17>

R5C6 - removing <23> from <1237> leaving <17>

R6C4 - removing <2> from <2479> leaving <479>

R6C5 - removing <2> from <2469> leaving <469>

R5C5 is the only square in row 5 that can be <3>
