Hi David, Those are pretty amazing move numbers for a speedcubing strategy! What method do you use that is so much more efficient than Fridrich? I know with fewest move methods one can get much lower but if this is a speedsolving method then it seem to be lower than just about anything I've heard of. The benefit of L2L is there are fewer algorithms to learn, and so also a less onerous recognition phase, than Fridrich - is the number of algorithms a problem with your method? i'd love to hear more.
