Hi :-) It could be that im stupid ;-)
But what is really the difference between multi-cross solving and the old discussion about whether to solve with the cross on same face (same color) or not ?? When it comes to it, you choose ONE cross that you solve first, and that's it! Having to consider too many possible cross-starts, doesn't that make it impossible to use the 15 secs beyond simply study how to do the cross. Choosing a cross early (fixed color) it is possible to use the 15 secs seeing beyond the cross i guess. By the way, im not a fridrich/cross solver ;-) Cheers! -Per > --- In [email protected], "Gunnar Krig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It seems pretty onteresting indeed.
