Notice in the top row there are two cells with the only options of $2$ and $9$. This means those two cells will be $2$ and $9$, you just don't know which is which. Therefore you can eliminate every other $2$ and $9$ in that row.

  • $\begingroup$ Oh, sorry for not seeing that. Is this the original version of sudoku? I play sudoku, but never have I seen this many numbers on a sudoku grid. $\endgroup$
