Some days ago I made a very good time using opposite color for the cross. I'm
really convinced that is a good thing. Sometimes I have a square already formed
on the opposite color, and a bad cross on my normal color. So, what to do?
Solve with opposite color. It's cool, and I think I can get better with
practice.

With opposite color, the hardest part is F2L.
For the LL I event get better times with white than yellow on top :p
But that can be arranged pretty fast. I'll work on that this weekend
and post some results.
(until now : I average about 23 seconds with opposite color while I
average 19 with white at the bottom :p)
