Some of the most effective 10 moves I've ever had. Double X cross + LL EO + 2/4 LL EP + 1 FL corner, could've been a good FMC start if I knew how to finish it properly. :(

red on top, white on right:

Cross: U F L B2
F2L1: U2 R' U R
F2L2: y U R' U R
F2L3: L' U L U2 y R' U' R
F2L4: U R U' R' U' y' R' U2 l U' R' U x (partial edge control is the reason for the weird insertion)
OLL: U' (R U R' U') R' F R2 U R' U' F'
PLL: U' R' U' R y' R2 u R' U R U' R u' R2 U

I haven't ever put a whole solve into notation like that before, so I might have my ys and y's wrong. y moves the same as D, yes?

adfoote - I can't get your solution to work. y moves the same as U, x moves as R, z as F.

EOLine: B U2 D' L2 B L' D (Okay, I guess. I must suck at getting near-optimal EOlines, though, because I almost never get 7-moves ones)
1st Block: R' L' U2 R' U' R'
2nd Block: L' U L' U L U2 L U L2
1st Pair: U2 R' U R U' L' U2 L
2nd Pair + Partial corner control: R' U' R U2 R' U2 R
V-Perm: U R' U R' U' y R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F U2

A pretty good solve, although 53 moves is surprisingly high for a forced OLL skip. That OLL skip, btw, is why there's a U2 before the insertion of the second pair. For the first pair, a U2 insertion was put there to separate a misconnected pair that was already in the slot.
