Andy Chakarov's progression thread

2 look OLL and PLL can get you to even sub-20, it matters on how fast yoy do your algs. Focus on F2L first.

i can do 2 look OLL n PLL whenever i dont know the case and get sub 15, just try to get faster at cross and f2l at this stage then worry about the algs

The word ‘boring’ has been removed I notice.

alright so remember what I said about 3x3 and ditching 2x2? yea well screw that because every time I look at my 2x2 I just get PTSD to that one time when I got a 40 second solve in competition so I am finally learning ortega

Ok, feel free to dm me for tips, and good luck learning ortega!

 

[Andy Chakarov]

Alright, so I kinda forgot about this thread and I also havent really done any serious practice on any kind of event but I learned ortega and also yesterday I was just doing some casual 3x3 solves on hand scrambles (to see if I still remembered everything) and I got a new PB of 22 seconds

I think I am going to practice more ortega and I want to get into 4x4 and learn how to solve a pyraminx PROPERLY because the method I use right now is really bad and it takes me like 25 seconds to solve it (I think that is bad)

Basically I want to be able to participate in Skewb, 4x4, 3x3, 2x2 and Pyraminx I guess I could also go for Megaminx since I have one but it takes too much practice, time and it is too hard

I guess that sums up what I have been up to these past 2 weeks

Yesterday I got the MGC elite 2x2 because the one I had before that sucked and I am happy with it because in my turning I rely on corner cutting a lot and this cube can cut from basically anywhere

I forgot to mention it but I got a new 3x3 PB

I am thinking about learning full CFOP since after I learn that it is all about practice

 

[Andy Chakarov]

nevermind school exists so I will have to take a break from speedcubing for like 2 weeks or something like that, I hope that I dont become sub 45 second average because it was really hard to break the 40 second barrier with beginner CFOP (I average about 37 or something like that seconds right now)

i mean you don't have to revise 24/7

 

[Andy Chakarov]

i mean you don't have to revise 24/7

the thing is with school exams I have like 1 hour of free time and I dont want to cube in all of my free time and of course I will still solve like 15 minutes or something a day so that I dont forget everything because my memory sucks

sheesh
I had the two weeks of exams earlier this month and I had quite a lot of free time
guess every country is different

 

[Andy Chakarov]

alright exams are almost over which means more free time which means more cubing so that's that, I also did some solves on 3x3 and turns out taking a break somehow made me average 33 seconds so that also happened and that's it

Hi Andy! I’m Emma. I’m 15 years old. I have been cubing since I was 11 years old. I noticed you are Bulgarian. I don’t speak the language but I do speak Russian so I understand a bit of it. Nice to meet you! 31 seconds is great! My PB is still 28 seconds

 

[Imsoosm]

@NigelTheCuber It's kind of childish to react with angry whenever somebody says something good about Russia or knows the language. Their government might be bad, but the country itself isn't bad.
