Move 1 of 10: U2

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

U Up Slash belongs to the U 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. 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: R B; R: L B; B: U U; L: L F. The letters identify colors by their reference faces.

Execute the algorithm

U2 R2 D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R'

The opening is U2 R2 D; the final segment is R' U2 R'. This version contains 10 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
