1 # Speedcubing 2 3  4 5 I have been practicing 6 [speedcubing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedcubing) since 2008, 7 and since 2011 I have competed in more than 70 officially recognized 8 [WCA](https://www.worldcubeassociation.org) competitions. 9 I am currently delegate for the WCA. 10 11 I use the Roux method to solve the Rubik's cube in about 8 seconds 12 on average. I currently hold the world record for the single best 13 result in the *3x3x3 Fewest Moves* event (16 moves), and some national 14 records in blindfolded events. You can see all my official results 15 [on my WCA profile](https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/2011TRON02). 16 17 If you are interested in Fewest Moves solving, check out my [FMC 18 Tutorial](https://fmcsolves.cubing.net/). I also upload irregularly on 19 [my YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/SebastianoTronto), but 20 most videos consist just of me solving the cube without any comment 21 or explanation. 22 23 Below you can find some links 24 25 ## Fundamentals 26 27 * [Rubik's cube notation](notation), good to know before reading any 28 text-based tutorial. 29 * [Figure it out](figure-it-out): a "tutorial" on how to figure out 30 the Rubik's cube by yourself, without spoilers. It will not teach you 31 how to solve it step by step, but it will point you in the right direction. 32 33 ## Software 34 35 * [Computer Puzzling](https://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/compcube.htm) by 36 Jaap Scherphuis. If you are interested in implementing a puzzle solver, 37 do check out this page. 38 * [Nissy](https://nissy.tronto.net), a Rubik's cube solver and FMC assistant. 39 * [Cube coordinates](coordinates), an explanation of how "coordinates" in 40 the sense of [Kociemba](https://kociemba.org/cube.htm) can be implemented 41 for efficient Rubik's cube computations and solving. 42 43 ## Fewest moves 44 45 * [My FMC Tutorial](https://fmcsolves.cubing.net) - "old style" techniques, 46 no Domino Reduction. 47 * [Slice theory](slice-theory): optimizing DR solutions by inserting multiple 48 "slice" moves. 49 * [DR triggers](triggers): with pictures (work in progress / forever draft). 50 * [Reconstruction of my 22.00 former WR average](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0yjjwxonEE), 51 including my 16 moves single (YouTube video). 52 53 ## Blindfolded 54 55 * [An old 3BLD tutorial](guidabld.pdf) for beginners, in Italian. 56 * [My new alg sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iIuCNs_GXQAQFEssZam5lQ4cm3R_MRw9uQkb0GIThvo/edit?usp=sharing). 57 At the moment it has only corners (UFR), 4BLD wings (UFr), 4BLD x-centers 58 (Ubl) and 5BLD t-centers. Also available in csv format (see links 59 in the A1 cell in each sheet). Work in progress. 60 61 ## Other links 62 63 * [My WCA profile](https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/2011TRON02) 64 * [My YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/SebastianoTronto) 65 * [Solving a cube... without a cube](no-cube)
