[Member Intro] Hi from Chile

[sdx-yash]

Hello everyone!

I am a 39 years old guy from Santiago, Chile. I bought a cube a couple months ago so I could do something in the commute to work (by subway) besides using my phone.

I have zero cubing background so I have learnt everything recently just by googling, some great resources are available online, such as this forum, Reddit, Kian's webpage, and nice youtube tutorials. After learning beginner's method (actually 8355), I looked for which speed method to use next, and I decided to learn Roux because I had no faith in learning too many algorithms, and I am happy with my choice. I recently learnt 2 look CMLL, which wasn't as difficult as I expected so MAYBE I could learn full CMLL, with some time.

Short term, I need to practice my turning speed a lot (I am very slow), and of course block building (not too bad for a beginner, but I know it is the most important step in Roux). I am constantly looking for new resources, I enjoy studying more than actual practicing, and I hope to attend a competition in a couple of months, for the experience. Also, I have no plans in learning other cubes/puzzles in the short term, but who knows what to expect for the future.

Cheers everyone.

Welcome! I don't see too many roux solvers here (I'm a CFOP guy so don't mind that) and it's nice to see someone trying out the next best method.
There are some good resources out there, such as example solves, alg sheets, and probably critiques that let you know what your weaknesses are.

Hi there,

good luck exploring Roux method!
