Move 1 of 8: U2

Insert the final F2L pair and orient the last-layer corners for this Summer Variation case.

Recognize this starting position

For the front-right target slot in this training state, the DFR corner is at UFR and the FR edge is at UB. Corner sticker directions are R→U, F→F, D→R; edge sticker directions are F→U, R→B. Each arrow reads color reference face → current facing direction. Upper corners with the upper-face color facing up: UFL, UBL, UBR.

Execute the algorithm

U2 R' D' Rw U2 Rw' D R

The opening is U2 R' D'; the final segment is Rw' D R. This version contains 8 face, wide, or slice turns and no whole-puzzle rotations.
