For row 7, number 4 is only possible in cell (2,7) | ||
For row 4, number 9 is only possible in cell (4,4) | ||
For box 2, candidates for 3 are all in row 2, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 6, candidates for 1 are all in column 9, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For box 6, candidates for 5 are all in column 9, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
Naked Pair for 7 and 8, can remove these as candidates from other cells. | ||
