For row 8, number 1 is only possible in cell (4,8) | ||
For row 6, number 1 is only possible in cell (5,6) | ||
For box 8, candidates for 8 are all in row 7, so you can remove candidates from other blocks. | ||
For blocks 5 and 8, candidates for 8 are all in the same two columns (5 and 4) | ||
For blocks 5 and 8, candidates for 2 are all in the same two columns (5 and 4) | ||
Hidden Pair for 6 and 7, can remove other candidates from these cells. | ||
