Move 1 of 11: y2

Solve the remaining 2x2 corners when the completed first face has an adjacent swap in its layer.

EG1 Pi 1 belongs to the Pi group in EG 1.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: none. Reading each side’s upper corner stickers left to right when facing that side gives F: B U; R: L R; B: U B; L: U U. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

y2 F2 R U R' U2 R U R' U' F

The opening is y2 F2 R; the final segment is R' U' F. This version contains 10 face, wide, or slice turns and 1 whole-puzzle rotation.
