My FMC solution from weekly competition. I don't know well opposite blocks method but I've made it in this case. Lately I was playing around if I can force a skip, and make shorter solution. And I found a better one: from 38 stm (42 htm) to 32 stm (34 htm).

y x D R2 U' Rw U' B R B2 R' F' // (10) FB with EO - I wanted to make 3x2x2 block and next to make f2l -1 follow up
Rw2 U R' U2 Rw2 U' R /// (7/17) I've notced easy SB but with opposite bottom
U M2 // (2/19) I put yellow/green on the bottom to force shorter LSE
R' U Rw U2 R2 F R F' Rw /// (9/28) CMLL
U M2 U' L2 // (4/32) LSE

All - 32 stm, 34 htm.

Hey dude I know about the movecount thing, I was there once, transferring from CFOP is hard, but try to do a lot of slow solves when "warming up" take as much time as you can to find every possible square and etc. choose the best one then stress on look-ahead from there.

i'm bored and there's no new scramble, so i'm gonna do yours.
your solution doesn't work btw, i tried to fix it but failed.

don't mind me, just stealing another scramble. example solves help me with move count.

fixed your second block but your lse doesn't work, see. i always check my solutions on there before i post them.

not a bad second block, 15 moves is still good for a speedsolve.
