Sune is the most widely recognized name for the OLL case in which the edges are oriented and three corners are twisted counterclockwise, and also for the algorithm which solves it.

Name

The term was coined by Lars Petrus for his method. Sune is a male name in Sweden and is an iron age form for 'the son'; in modern Swedish that is 'sonen'. The original name is pronounced "soon-eh" ([suːnɛ]), but it is commonly pronounced by cubers as "soon" ([suːn]). Lars provides his personal pronunciation of Sune in this video.

Algorithm

The Sune is a 2-gen algorithm that affects the last layer of a Rubik's Cube, and can be applied to other puzzles. It is most canonically written as

The Sune can be written as a pure commutator, but is most commonly recognized as a conjugated commutator or a sequence of two commutators.

An alternative name: the Anti-Chair

In french speaking countries, Anti-Sune is also known as the chair (L'histoire de la chaise in french). This naming has been popularized by the Francocube community, through a mnemonic device for beginners presented in this beginner tutorial. This mnemonic device consists into repeating this little story: "He stands up (R), goes far away (U2), his chair falls (R'), he comes back next to his chair (U'), he straightens his chair (R), he goes back on his chair (U') and he sits down (R')." Logically, as Anti-Sune is also called Chair, Anti-Chair is an alternative name of Sune.
