Understanding the Origin of Parity Errors and Solving by Logic
5. Interested in Speedcubing?
After gaining an understanding of the origins of parity errors and the strategies to solve them using commutators and conjugates, it becomes apparent that while this approach is effective, it can be time-consuming due to the large number of movements involved. This makes it unsuitable for those interested in speedcubing.
For speedcubers, the best option is to utilize well-established algorithms. These algorithms have been developed and refined to efficiently address parity errors while minimizing the number of necessary moves. They are essentially optimized combinations of commutators and conjugates. For instance, instead of manipulating individual pieces, these algorithms employ commutators to interchange entire blocks.
By comprehending the construction of these algorithms, you will be better equipped to memorize them with ease. The following links provide valuable resources that demonstrate how some of these algorithms are designed, utilizing the knowledge presented in this guide and employing clever techniques with commutators and conjugates:
