Speedcubing
I have been practicing speedcubing since 2008, and since 2011 I have competed in more than 70 officially recognized WCA competitions. I am currently a senior member of the WCA Disciplinary Committee and a WCA Junior Delegate.
I use the Roux method to solve the Rubik’s cube in about 8 seconds on average. I currently hold the world record for the single best result in the 3x3x3 Fewest Moves event (16 moves), and some national records in blindfolded events. You can see all my official results on my WCA profile.
If you are interested in Fewest Moves solving, check out my FMC Tutorial. I also upload irregularly on my YouTube channel, but most videos consist just of me solving the cube without any comment or explanation.
Below you can find some links
Fundamentals
- Rubik’s cube notation, good to know before reading any text-based tutorial.
- Figure it out: a “tutorial” on how to figure out the Rubik’s cube by yourself, without spoilers. It will not teach you how to solve it step by step, but it will point you in the right direction.
Software
- Computer Puzzling by Jaap Scherphuis. If you are interested in implementing a puzzle solver, do check out this page.
- Nissy, a Rubik’s cube solver and FMC assistant.
- Cube coordinates, an explanation of how “coordinates” in the sense of Kociemba can be implemented for efficient Rubik’s cube computations and solving.
Fewest moves
- My FMC Tutorial - “old style” techniques, no Domino Reduction.
- Slice theory: optimizing DR solutions by inserting multiple “slice” moves.
- DR triggers: with pictures (work in progress / forever draft).
- Reconstruction of my 22.00 former WR average, including my 16 moves single (YouTube video).
Blindfolded
- My 3BLD algs for UBL/UR. They are outdated and not very good, I may upload a better version at some point.
