Like most people when I was learning F2L, I just went online to figure out how to do it. After watching numerous tutorials on how it was done I had finally got it. During this time I found that if some things had been explained a little differently it would have helped tremendously in understanding how to consistently perform F2L. When you are first starting it is difficult to keep track of everything and there is a lot to remember.
I created a system for myself that allowed me to be able to complete F2L in a more organized manner. There are lots of tutorials online but I wanted to include some items that I wish someone had told me while I was learning. I’m sure this is how most people learn to do F2L but I never found it written down in one location that was comprehensive enough for my taste. There was no systematic approach I could reference every single time no matter what the case was. Having it written down and not having to keep rewinding a youtube video helped out quite a bit as it's much faster to reference a single case. This is just my explanation of a systematic approach to beginners F2L that makes sense to me and hopefully it helps someone else out there. I am by no means a super fast cuber (around 30 second average at the time of this writing) but wanted to get my thoughts down on paper before I forgot how difficult it was to keep everything straight.
This document is for people just learning how to do F2L and is intended to allow a user to solve every F2L case (there are 41 different unsolved cases) by following the following 3 steps no matter what the case is. I am going to assume you either have no F2L experience or very little and still need help with the basics. I tried very hard to make each step as simple and detailed as possible. It may seem like a lot of reading initially, but once you have it down, you will probably only be referencing the images anyway.
I am more than willing to take feedback on this to help improve the document. ([email protected]) The goal is to make F2L as easy and understandable as possible for everyone. I know it seems like a wall of text initially and for a beginner it may seem like a bit much, but once you understand the content of the document my hope is that these instructions break down something as complicated as F2L into something that anyone can do by following the same steps over and over and over again. Like most beginner methods it breaks down every F2L case into 3 cases and 2 insertions.
I looked on the forums quite a bit but haven't found anything that lays it out in this way, so I believe there is still value to post this. Again, most tutorials teach this, but for me it seemed unorganized and inconsistent. anyway, I really hope someone gets use out of this, as it was quite a bit of effort.

Beginners F2L: 3 easy steps for every case.
I was going to attach a PDF but its bigger than the limit. Feel free to save as Pdf, share, distribute as desired.
Apologies in advance if this was posted twice. I tried the first time and didn't see it displayed and couldn't find it in my profile. <- Forum newbie
