    For some reason I love to do this. Even on big cubes like a 7x7, I'll randomly solve as a checkerboard once or twice a month and oddly find it really fun to solve

  • @GroovyDominoes

    I remember deciding to do this years ago back when there was no video about this at all at the time
    I'd solve a scrambled cube into a checkerboard pattern, cube in a cube pattern, cube in a cube in a cube pattern, flower pattern
    Glad to finally see someone else do this and I can't wait to see someone speed solve into more of those patterns :D

    I did one practice then one timed solve for regular then checkered. 55s & 2m02s respectively
    It did mess with my brain more than I expected. Doing first layer then the second layer edges helped a lot. I liked doing the last layer, it was less difficult than the rest and that difficulty felt good.

    yeah so that's not how to make the checkerboard, your supposed to h perm (flip 180°) h perm (flip 90°) h perm (flip 90°) now you should have what is now on complete checkerboard and another on the parallel side, no go to the incomplete side that looks weird, h perm the edge piece that is connected to its centre (flip 180°) on last h perm, or just do M6 E60 S360

    what i did for a while is checkerboard but not the opposites but e.g. white center blue edges, and solve the rest in the appropriate color mix from there, then I would do "magic trick" where i would quickly do the slice behind someones head or in someones hoodie pocket(my favorite) to make the blue edges green. advantage being someone can do normal checkerboard by accident and get behind the trick but not the way i did it.

    Honestly it wasn't difficult because I know all the opposite colours. Don't have much to say about cross, just make a cross normally but on the opposite centre and do D2. The main obstacle is F2L where you have the make the pair with the edge of opposite colours. OLL is easy because I use 2 look OLL. For PLL, just know your PLL's properties like this piece goes there etc.

I decided I would make as much of the pattern as I could and then finish the rest, but then I just made the pattern :D

    Actually I did something very similar with some friends at a weekend away, we had like 10 different cubes, so we had someone scramble 2 cubes into the exact same position (so we can view all angles easily). And started solving for a random position from a different scramble

    start out with checkerboard, put coloured stickers over all the swapped tiles to make it look like a normal solve then scramble and solve normally, remove stickers. ez 8sec record

    Yo bro I had this idea a few months ago and I was hoping a UA-camr would try to do it to because it’s a super fun challenge
