    What is the deadliest thing that beginner cubers do not know about? It's practicing methods. Every beginner cuber dreams about joining the big leagues, yet quit before they even know how to! Those people think that repetitive solutions will help them get faster. This fact is false. You don't...

    Does turning RC increase your precision?

    I am cuber with times around 30s. I use Guhong for practise. I have heard some voices, that cuber should do some practise solves with cube like classic Rubiks (or other, that almost do not cut corners) to train precision in moves. Without that precision is hard to achieve good times. So I...
