From beginner level to
pro level, F2L is usually the step with the most room for improvement because it requires recognizing and tracking multiple pieces at once, while having quite a lot of freedom. Intuitive F2L Recommended: Any level Make sure you're learning intuitive F2L. In other words, you know how F2L works logically.

In theory, there are so many unique F2L cases that memorizing them all would be a very slow way to learn it. Once you understand the intuitive concepts from this tutorial, you should practice it until it feels somewhat natural, before moving on. Advanced F2L Recommended for: Sub-30 Basic intuitive F2L has a lot of steps, and some of those steps
can be combined. For example, you can move pieces to the top and pair them at the same time! Traditionally, watching walkthrough solves was the best way to learn advanced F2L. But in this video, the advanced concepts are structured to be easy to learn. Walkthrough solves are still useful though, as you can learn good habits and situational tricks.
Look Ahead Recommended for: Sub-20 As you improve, look ahead will rapidly become the most important concept in all of speedsolving. Look ahead means tracking pieces as they move in order to quickly predict what to do next. Using human reaction time to recognize each separate case is rather slow, yet pros never seem to pause and look. This is
all because of good look ahead, which the biggest difference between slower and faster cubers. The reason we don't work on look ahead at an earlier stage is because the brain can't focus on multiple things very well when going fast.
Once F2L cases become like muscle memory, then you can put your focus into what to solve next.
The Advanced F2L Playlist has multiple videos on look ahead techniques. F2L Optimization Recommended for: Sub-15 You don't have to learn 77 algorithms. As much as possible, cube rotations and extra moves should be avoided. While intuitive F2L takes you most of the way there, it's not always enough. With this video and the F2L algorithm
document, you can check all of your solutions against the best ones. I don't recommend learning straight from this document without having a solid grasp of your own F2L solutions, which is why I recommend being at least sub-15 before trying to optimize your F2L. Predicting First Pair Recommended for: Sub-15 This is one of the most overlooked
fundamentals of advanced CFOP. By predicting the first F2L pair in inspection, you reduce a pause after finishing the cross. Additionally, the harder part of the solve begins with fewer unsolved pieces and with more time to track your next F2L pair. This is one of the most difficult skills to master (competition inspection time is 15 seconds), but is also
the most rewarding skill for reducing times at a high level. Next Steps Recommended for: Sub-12 I strongly recommend watching at least a good portion of the Advanced F2L Playlist to pick up a lot of tricks and ideas to apply. This includes: Where to look during bad cases Multiple options per case depending on the situation Practice techniques How
to predict/recognize cases faster No matter what level you are at, improving F2L should be near the top of your priority list! The first speedcubing World championship was held in 1982 in Budapest and it was won by Minh Thai (USA) with a 22.95 seconds solution time. Since then the methods have evolved and we are capable of reaching solution
times below 6 seconds. If you want to improve your cubing speed, all you need is a high quality, well lubricated Rubik's Cube with good corner cutting and optimal tensioning so the pieces don't pop. Practice finger tricks, the art of turning the cube like you can barely see the movements. You'll also need a Rubik's Cube timer to keep track of your
evolution, and a lot of practice of the method described in the tutorial below. Cross F2L OLL PLL When talking about the advanced technique of solving the Rubik's Cube we have to mention the Petrus system and the Fridrich method (or full CFOP) which is used by the big majority of speedcubers these days. This advanced technique developed by
Jessica Fridrich divides the puzzle into layers and you have to solve the cube layer by layer using algorithms in each step, not messing up the pieces already in place. These steps are the following: Cross, F2L, OLL and PLL, as seen on the illustration above. The method developed by Jessica Fridrich involves memorizing a lot of algorithms, but there is
a logical connection between them. After a lot of practice you will develop the ability to execute these operations intuitively. Steps of the advanced method 1. First of all we have to solve the white edge pieces in the bottom. This seems to be the easiest but it's really hard if you want to do it right. You should be able to determine all the rotations
needed to complete the white cross after inspecting the cube, and you'll succeed only if you foresee 7 steps. Read more >> 2. When the cross is done we solve the first two layers (F2L) in one step using a technique to pair the white corner and second layer edge pieces. We are talking about four corner blocks which usually require 4x7 steps. Read
more >> 3. Orienting the last layer (OLL) of the Rubik's Cube is the step in which we solve the yellow face without matching the side colours. We are going to position them in the next step. Learn all the 57 algorithms to complete this step. Read more >> 4. Permutate the last layer (PLL) to finish the solution of your cube. There are 21 algorithms to
memorize. Read more >> Steps of the Fridrich Rubik's Cube Method: How-to-solve-a-Rubix-Cube.com » The cross is the step with the least amount of structure, so it takes a lot of thinking and creativity to come up with a good solution. This section covers cross fundamentals and tricks, all the way to predicting more than just the cross during
inspection. Intermediate Cross Tips Recommended: Any level The cross can always be solved in 8 moves or less. Being able to come up with efficient solutions is extremely important. This skill is a result of seeing how cross pieces interact with each other, rather than solving 1 piece at a time. Advanced Cross Tips Recommended for: Sub-40 This video
has more advanced techniques, which only apply to specific patterns. From examples at the end, you'll see how to reduce a complex case down to the techniques we learn in the video.
Cross cases don't have definite answers, only good solutions and bad solutions. As an exercise, you can try to come up with a different good solution for some of the cross cases I showed! Walkthrough solves can be useful to see a variety of cross solutions. X-Cross Recommended for: Sub-20 X-Cross is short for Extended Cross. This means solving the
cross plus 1 F2L pair in an efficient way. You should not use this every solve since many scrambles are just as fast doing cross and the first pair separately. After watching the tutorial, the best way to practice is to predict when corners/edges will be solved after making the cross. If you find that one will be solved, try to insert the pairing piece as
shown in the video. Predicting First Pair Recommended for: Sub-15 This is one of the most overlooked fundamentals of advanced CFOP. By predicting the first F2L pair in inspection, you reduce a pause after finishing the cross. Additionally, the uninspected portion of F2L begins with fewer unsolved pieces, making look ahead easier. This is one of the
most difficult skills to master (competition inspection time is 15 seconds), but is also the most rewarding skill for reducing times at a high level. It can be good to practice with unlimited inspection time to force yourself to predict 1 F2L pair. Next Steps Recommended for: Sub-12 Coming up with a good cross solution becomes quite natural at this
level, and you should almost always be able to come up with an optimal or near-optimal solution. The best things to do from here are: Choose a cross solution that gives better finger tricks Make X-Crosses on more scrambles than usual Change the cross solution to set up easier F2L cases Predict first pair in under 15 seconds on harder scrambles
Predict the approximate location of the 2nd F2L pair (on easy scrambles) Walkthrough solves show all the important ideas mentioned here.
