Move 1 of 13: R

Solve the four upper corners in Roux after building both side blocks; the remaining edges are solved later.

O Adjacent belongs to the Solved group in CMLL.

Recognize this starting position

In the inverse-derived training position, the upper-face color points upward at these corner positions: UFR, UFL, UBL, UBR. Upper edges with that color facing up: UF, UL, UB, UR. Reading each side’s upper corner stickers left to right when facing that side gives F: L F; R: R L; B: F R; L: B B. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

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

The opening is R U R'; the final segment is R2 U' R'. This version contains 13 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
