Fewest Moves: Tips and Techniques

[deepSubDiver]

I separate this step into two steps:
Building a 2x2x1 block on U should be no problem, the next thing I do is pairing a corner and an edge while permuting the remaining edges. This leaves me with a corner commutator as well and is not painfully less efficient. Sometimes, you find a nicer solution to do it in one step, though. This never happened to me during speedsolves, though ;P

I've been trying that, sometimes works fine, sometimes I have difficulty.
