You should look closely at the algorithms. You should try to memorize mirror moves. They are great, you can see the symmetry of the cube.
Look at where you can add variations to the algorithms too. This algorithm orients BR edge of the Middle Layer (R' U R') (U2 B')(R2 B) U2 R2 if you toss in a R2 before the last two turns you can permute two edges, rather than orient just the one. the (R' U R') (U2 B')(R2 B) [[R2]] U2 R2 The Back and Front Right Mid Layer edges are switched and the original BRME is oriented. Picking apart the algs can be very beneficial. You stop looking at the algs as counter and clock turns. I feel it's better to see the algs as turning toward or away from the desired solved edge sets final position. This makes doing the symetrical algs (mirrors) a lot easier. Also discover your own algorithms, add variations to the algs like that R2 I added. Discover the cause and effects of your varaiations and the mirror moves. --- In [email protected], Chris Hunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > When I first learned F2L, I blindly memorized algorithms.
