Hello,
For some people (as me), it's a long way to learn/recognize/execute. Don't be frustrated and keep enjoying cubing. In a little while, you'll be surprised at your progress. Patience.
Welcome and have a good dive into CFOP :)
I've just seen a solve video with it. It's amazing
I'd never heard of them.
Did they really exist?
Yes, with the new WCA puzzle in gif! 😅

"Stealth" is the OLL 28, and I don't know why he called it like that.
If you don't have an account on SpeedSolving forum but you're curious…
You can download here pdf who made Mark Rivers:
I was wondering and this question was asked over there and he answered it:
Thank you for that list :)
Which ones are stealth and kites? Never heard those categories beforeStealth = OLL-28, H = OLL-57, the all corners oriented cases.
I separated out kites (OLL-9 & 10) and fishes (OLL-35 & 37) because although the wiki groups these together, they are distinctly different U patterns. Note that the kites can be solved by Sunes with M setup moves so are in the same "family" as the squares and small lightning bolts.
The dots are also separated into those with 1/54 probability and those with <1/54 probability; the move savings for the latter are weighted by their probability which is why they are so low in the list. Although rare, when one actually arises you still save a lot of moves (8-10) so they're good to learn anyway.
Yes, it's motivating when you can measure what you've earned.
Feliks Zemdegs said to him:
"Your lookahead is fantastic for someone of your speed."
Indeed.
It's completely crazy. Only 0.2 seconds amplitude on 5 solves! And 3 same times!
I didn't see this pair was there at the beginning 😅
It was a lucky scramble. But it's nice to see this level with is method and I'm happy for all Rouxers around the world :)
Amazing!
I immediately saw the free 2x2 block during his inspection :)
For the blue/orange block (front right), it was a free pair or did he build it while first block?
"Cubing Competitions Near Me" tool
Until yesterday, we could find the closest WCA competitions to our home (or any location and sorted by distance) with a tool on CubingApp.com. All we had to do was fill in the latitude and longitude.
Today I contact Spencer Chubb (the owner of the website) about this, and few hours later he had improved it: now we just have to fill in the field with a city!
It works perfectly and easier to use!

Thanks to Spencer to listen to suggestions, and congratulations to him on his responsiveness.
He's a very nice guy.
"Chinese" was a good clue! I found it.
Ranking is here: cubing.com/results/statistics/sum-of-ranks
Thank you @thisisdee :)
Where can I find Sum Of Ranks (SoR) WCA world ranking?
Yestherday, Luke Garrett became #1 in the world for Sum Of Ranks average. In his youtube video, we can see a SoR ranking web page.
Do you know which site is it from please?
I share your excitement and the serotonin addiction, like all cubers :)
I just wonder how much faster you would be with all the algs in your head.
I wonder too. You can also ask yourself how much faster you would be after learning some COLL or/and Winter Variations, or if you do x-crosses/cross+1 each solve. Learning is endless in cubing! I've decided to stop − for a moment − learning new algs and focus on inspection and F2Ls.
May be I'll take a look at few sexy/sledge OLL algorithms ;)
You have good advice but, it doesn't suit who I am. Tx :)
I'm not a competitor and I don't want spend time with a trainer.
I only do 40~50 solves a day. It's not enough to keep 57 cases in memory.
Thank you for your answer. It's very interesting to know what knowledge cubers have and what techniques they use.
It's funny, we're at the same place in our progression 🙂
I plan crosses and try x-crosses/cross+1 but I'm bad at this. As you, I do a lot of slow turning. I agree with you, it's a very good practice.
For F2L, I'm still discovering new tricks/algs that save me time.
Actually, I know 20/21 PLLs and 2-look OLLs (+ 2 OLL-T). I don't want learn full OLL, so, to skip dot cases I use sledge to insert the last pair or add M moves to a last 3-mover.
I decided I would never learn all OLLs (too much for me). So, in parallel to CFOP, a few days ago I started practicing edges orientation (EO) of the ZZ method. Because after F2Ls, up-face edges are already oriented and so, there are only 8 cases (we already know). It's a (long) test. I'll see later if I definitively switch or not.
