I didn't see a twisted corner and forgot the last two edge targets. Would have been a PB single by 11 seconds.

Closest attempt to success in 4BLD... I think it's my 5th or 6th one
Time, approximately 20 minutes
DNF by 2 swapped centers D:

Shooted to a center in U face forgetting the U face was 180 degrees twisted (because it was the 2nd letter in the pair).

:):):):):):):):):) dammit

so close.

4BLD DNF(1:52.62) at Belgorod Open 2016 by a lot. Did U' instead of U (or conversely) in the beginning. And without that mistake it still would have been a DNF by 5 unmemorised wings pieces.
But this solve pretty much convinced me that sub-2 at comps is possible.

Yesterday the number of 4BLD attempts I had ever done was 9. Today I brought the number up to 18. So I did as many attempts as I had done, in one single day.

Of course, all of the 18 attempts were DNFs. Today I tied my "closest to solved PB", which is 2 unsolved centers. It was because of a wrongly memorized letter :/

Hopefully tomorrow I'll achieve a success!
