Cross on left discussion thread

[DavidWoner]

I'm preparing a COL page. Some less-known tricks adopted from COD:

Is there anyone fast inserting on D?

I have seen Sergey, Tomasz, and Ravi all do it. I do it very rarely though I've been meaning to incorporate it more. The development of left ring for both D and D' has made it a lot more viable than it was in previous years.

Edit: I should clarify that I've only seen it for 3-move inserts, I haven't seen anyone do something like D R' D' R2 D R' D' though with a decent amount of practice it should be manageable to do things like that. If people can do Eperm in .7x I don't see why this can't be done.

I too do 3 move inserts with D. When it gets to cases where 7-ish moves are necessary, I generally find it easier to just do an x and pair with RU. Inserting with D really seems to help my lookahead though.

F' R U R' U' R' F

I've avoided learning this WVLL for so long and I have no idea why I never noticed this before.

F' R U R' U' R' F

I've avoided learning this WVLL for so long and I have no idea why I never noticed this before.

Even cooler: It works for 3 AUFs. No need to think about it when you get this case.

F' R U R' U' R' Fz'
F' R U R2 U' R' Fz'
F' R U R U' R' Fz'

I'm a bit late, but here's a sub-8.
I wouldn't be suprised it there was faster though.

Yes; use cube explorer.

Surely you'd rotate?!

Just put a z' in front of all the ones that you have now :b
