Yes, this is just a general explanation for how to actually blockbuild fb (the general approach can actually be extended to inspection of any step, really). For oh specifically, I encourage mindfulness when it comes to the ergonomics of the blocks you're doing as well. Pretty much any FB...

Hi all, I made a thing: Frameworks: A structured approach to Roux blocks Basically if you want to start using roux, this is how you should approach blocks (which I know is usually the sticking point). I've discussed this idea informally for a while, but I've finally gotten around to writing up...

Finally some discussion on the actual shape of methodspace! Reading through the post, it seems like this idea of convergence is similar to the optimisation which I outlined in the top-down vs bottom-up method development strategies thread a while back (which hopefully means that both are...

No one knows CDLSS? I'm disappointed.

How many of these methods have you heard of?

Well, I hope he doesn't so that I can keep my NRs and have a shot at ERs lol

I think the general idea of is kind of similar but, if my recollection of duplex serves me well, that method is more to do with finding the smallest and fastest combination of algs to solve LL whereas this is much more general (and much more focused on semi-intuitive ideas and (almost) avoiding...

I'll start with a warning: much of this post will be speculative and purely based on commonalities which appear to exist in all decent methods (in my experience anyway). As such, I will structure it in 3 parts: prerequisite ideas, reasonably concrete and immediate consequences and then blatant...

https://1drv.ms/b/s!ApfSlXDznkdsm1Va9rzIbUXWHJgy This is a pdf of all the cases. The recognition is more or less the same as cmll (ocll+opp/adj colours) but you take into account the location of an extra corner

It's just the most basic "reduce to LSE while trying to get a nice case" thing so nothing special. I have been practising EO+FR (and control ULUR) but I haven't quite trained my brain to work in the conjugated space properly yet so I'm still faster with the more basic and ugly version :/ Cool...

About 1.8 million

In my estimation, it's probably about the same speed with fewer algs. On the other hand, it does have the disadvantage of not really having anywhere to progress to so if you want to be really fast at mega (pushing world class and stuff), you'd probably be better off learning and using 3lll.

This idea has been around for a fair while (I even posted a couple variations on the method back in 2016/17 that I called megatripod and minitripod though the basic idea far predates them most likely). I actually still implement a minor variation of minitripod in my mega solves because I've...

How exactly are you practising? Do you do 20 minutes a day, or a couple hours in a big session on Saturday? If it's the former, I would suggest switching to the latter and trying to be faster with every solve (rather than just mindlessly solving)
