In this video I'm going to show you how to get this checkerboard cube in a cube pattern
On a 3x3 Rubik's Cube
Check out my other videos showing you how to solve a 2x2 a Rubik's Cube a 3x3 a 4x4 and even a 5x5
So to do this pattern you do need to start with a solved Rubik's Cube
So you need to know how to solve a Rubik's Cube or have a solved Rubik's Cube
And you need to know how to use algorithms on a Rubik's Cube too
If you don't already know how to use algorithms then check out my 3x3 tutorial on how to solve a Rubik's Cube
So to do this pattern we just need to use an algorithm
And that algorithm is the same algorithm that we used in the previous pattern, the small spiral pattern
So if you've already learnt how to do that pattern then you already know how to do this pattern as well
So that algorithm was: Li Bi D U R Ui Ri D2 R2 D L Di Li Ri F U
So let's do that algorithm then
We go..
Li
Bi
D
U
R
Ui
Ri
D2
R2
D
L
Di
Li
Ri
F
U
And you'll see that's just given us the previous pattern, the spiral pattern
However, if you repeat the same algorithm again, we will get the checkerboard cube within a cube
So let's do the algorithm again
We go..
Li
Bi
D
U
R
Ui
Ri
D2
R2
D
L
Di
Li
Ri
F
U
And that has given us this checkerboard cube within a cube
A nice simple extra pattern to learn if you've already learnt the previous one
Or if you haven't already learnt my previous one, the spiral pattern then..
..you've just learned how to do two patterns
So to undo this pattern we could do what we did in the previous video and flip the cube over
Except you'd need to do the algorithm two times
Or we can just repeat the same algorithm that we've just done now another four times
Doing it once will mix this up
Doing it a second time will get us back to this checkerboard cube in a cube
Except the colours will have rotated
Doing it again will get us back to the spiral in a different direction
And then doing it again we get back to a completed Rubik's Cube
So just keep repeating the same algorithm that we've just done now
Put this corner in the top right corner, this becomes our front face
And let's repeat the algorithm
So we go..
Li
Bi
D
U
R
Ui
Ri
D2
R2
D
L
Di
Li
Ri
F
U
And we've still got the cube in a cube style, now it's a little bit mixed up
But we know we've done it right so far if it looks like this
Repeat it again..
Li
Bi
D
U
R
Ui
Ri
D2
R2
D
L
Di
Li
Ri
F
U
Now we're back to the checkerboard cube within a cube
But the colours are rotated so we've still done it right
Do it again..
Li
Bi
D
U
R
Ui
Ri
D2
R2
D
L
Di
Li
Ri
F
U
Now we're back to the spiral pattern except it's in the other direction
Do it one more time..
Li
Bi
D
U
R
Ui
Ri
D2
R2
D
L
Di
Li
Ri
F
U
And that puts us back to a completed Rubik's Cube
Hope it helped guys and thanks for watching
For more Rubik's Cube patterns check out my other videos
And also if you know of any other Rubik's Cube patterns that you'd like me to make a video of then
Feel free to leave a comment in the comment section, with the algorithm
And maybe I'll make a video of that in the future
Thanks a lot guys, Bye!
