Move 1 of 9: R'

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

EG2 S 5 belongs to the S group in EG 2.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFL. Reading each side’s upper corner stickers left to right when facing that side gives F: R U; R: L U; B: R U; L: B F. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

R' U R' F R2 U' F R' F'

The opening is R' U R'; the final segment is F R' F'. This version contains 9 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
