Chaining without pausing

Do the 4 pairs in a row, slowly but without stopping: that’s where the time is saved.

Keyboard: Enter to continue, ← to go back. Keep your hands on the cube.

The order of the pairs doesn’t matter: always start with the one whose two pieces are already visible on top.

While you insert a pair, already look for the next one. That’s “lookahead”: at first, slow your hands down so your eyes have time.

Use the timer’s F2L scrambles (cross already done) and the metronome at a slow pace: one move per beat, never stopping.

Remember: A slow, smooth F2L always beats a fast F2L with pauses. Aim for zero stops, not speed.

I stop between each pair to search: Lower the metronome pace even more. The goal is to never stop, even if that means turning very slowly.
I can’t find any pair anymore: The pieces are hidden in slots. Take one out with R U R': there will always be a pair to form after that.
