Drop me a note sometime if you would like to play. The simultaneous turn selection gives normal Connect Four a whole new twist, and makes it more "hardcore". There is also a bit of "reading the mind" of your opponent, as you find in Poker. ]]> General Chat (Off-Topic) richardhutnik http://www.chessandpoker.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1517 Blitzed in Moscow! http://www.chessandpoker.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1516&amp;goto=newpost Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:42:15 GMT Carlsen leads World Blitz ahead of Anand in Moscow after day two.

I have solved it many times anf memorized all the moves. Credit goes to the Yates and Dedmore.

How ever some times I get in Step VI all the cubies in place and the Middle edge pieces also are at their respective correct positions only the colours reversed. From this position how many times ever if I try applying the algorithm I keep getting those pieces misplaced. They keep rotating They will never form an H or Fish.

I have attached a pic also. That is shown with last layer on top and adjacent faces brought up. The bottom layer fully solved is not shown. Let us say I start with orange as the front side and put algorithm 6, the nest position i get is orange in the same place, positions 1 is moved into 3, 3 into 2 and 2 into 1. One more repetition of algorithm 6 I get them moving anticlockwise and after three iterations back in the same place where I started.

Can you suggest something for this problem ?
