R2C1 can only be <8>

R7C7 is the only square in column 7 that can be <8>

R4C4 is the only square in block 5 that can be <6>

Intersection of row 7 with block 7. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R7C1, R7C2 and R7C3 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R8C3 - removing <2> from <2367> leaving <367>

R9C2 - removing <2> from <236> leaving <36>

Intersection of column 1 with block 4. The value <7> only appears in one or more of squares R4C1, R5C1 and R6C1 of column 1. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R6C3 - removing <7> from <267> leaving <26>

Intersection of column 2 with block 7. The value <6> only appears in one or more of squares R7C2, R8C2 and R9C2 of column 2. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 7. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 7 cannot contain this value.

R7C3 - removing <6> from <267> leaving <27>

R8C3 - removing <6> from <367> leaving <37>

Squares R3C8, R3C9, R6C8 and R6C9 form a Type-3 Unique Rectangle on <18>. Upon close inspection, it is clear that:

(R6C8 or R6C9)<27> and R5C8<27> form a naked pair on <27> in block 6. No other squares in the block can contain these possibilities

R4C7 - removing <2> from <12> leaving <1>

(R6C8 or R6C9)<27>, R6C3<26> and R6C1<67> form a naked triplet on <267> in row 6. No other squares in the row can contain these possibilities

R6C6 - removing <27> from <127> leaving <1>

R8C7 can only be <2>

R8C4 can only be <3>

R9C8 can only be <6>
