MI1

This is the first method that I developed. It was developed in July 2006. It went through many variants, but for now I'll only present the basic form without any advancements. It is good as it is, but the more advanced variants after the first step would be faster. I discussed this method with Gilles Roux in 2006 and received feedback that led to good alterations and ideas for advancements.

Step 1

In this step, dbl, dFL, and dBR are solved. My preferred way to build this shape is by solving dL then the dBr square. Another good way may be to solve Dbl + DFL + DBR then add three E layer edges with u moves freely available.

Step 2

Orient all remaining edges. Moves such as r U r' and f' U f make this step really easy.

Step 3

Solve dFR and orient the remaining LL corners. This is Winter Variation but with more freedom.

Step 4

Permute the remaining corners and solve the DR edge. Only 9 algs.

Step 5

Permute the remaining five edges. This step is known as L5EP or EP5. 16 algs.

Additional Notes

I thought of hundreds of variants for this in 2006. For the steps presented here, the most obvious advancement would be to combine steps four and five. So the final step would be to permute the LL pieces and DF+DR.

I decided for now to showcase just the original steps of the method, but there is one variant that may be the best and it was proposed by CubingForever (Shrihari Kavale) in the Nautilus server.
