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 100 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 ## Fundamentals 24 25 * [Rubik's cube notation](notation), good to know before reading any 26 text-based tutorial. 27 * [Figure it out](figure-it-out): a "tutorial" on how to figure out 28 the Rubik's cube by yourself, without spoilers. It will not teach you 29 how to solve it step by step, but it will point you in the right direction. 30 31 ## Software 32 33 * [Computer Puzzling](https://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/compcube.htm) by 34 Jaap Scherphuis. If you are interested in implementing a puzzle solver, 35 do check out this page. 36 * [Nissy](https://nissy.tronto.net), a Rubik's cube solver and FMC assistant. 37 See also [nissy-core](https://git.tronto.net/nissy-core), a newer and 38 more performant library implementing similar features. 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 Work in progress. 58 59 ## Other links 60 61 * [My WCA profile](https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/persons/2011TRON02) 62 * [My YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/SebastianoTronto) 63 * [Solving a cube... without a cube](no-cube)
