Update:
- Some "bugfixing" (including the missing ' in that 2c2e alg) (thanks to obelisk477).
- Specified that the inverse of a 2c2e alg solves the same case (thank to cuBerBruce).
- Expanded the "Get Lucky" section with two examples: "Insert Last Pair" and "How to Use Algorithms" (thanks to Bruce and Cubenovice).
- Added a reference to multislotting, with D R U R' D' as an example; together with the example solve I used to explain premoves, it should cover the "skewed pairs" topic (thanks to cuBerBruce).
- Added a section under "Advanced Tools": "Pair Analysis". Go find out what it is
About the slot-swapping PLLs:
I have thought about it, but I have decided not to include it in the list, for some reasons:
- The technique is almost only usable with CFOP, which I don't advise using for FMC. Even with FreeFOP it is hard to apply.
- It requires learning 21 new algorithms. I don't even suggest learning full PLL for FMC purposes.
- It forces you going for OLL/PLL: even with a CFOP solve you ay want to end differently (i.e.: with commutators).
- If you don't know in advance what PLL you are going to get, it saves less than 0.15 moves.
Interesting thing, but not really useful for FMC.
I may change my mind if some expert FMCer convinces me, but for now I am not including it in the tutorial.
