  Column squares
  
  Some deductions are based on a square pattern of cells.
  
  Look at b1, b9, h1, h9.  Each of the cells has a 9 in it.
  
  Call this a "column" square, because the columns
    have only two cells with the value 9.

  b1 = 9 iff h1 != 9 iff h9 = 9 iff h1 != 9.
  
  So on line b either b1 or b9 is a 9, and
     on line h either h1 or h9 is a 9.
     
  Therefore, we can knock off all the other 9's
  on lines b and h.
  
not b3 b4 b7 h3 h7 9
