In this video I'm going to show you how to do this multicolour checkerboard 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 as well as the normal algorithm letters F, B, L, R etc.
Sometimes you do need to use a few extra letters for these middle rows. For example
This middle row here we will give the letter M for middle
And that would be Mi
For this row here we give the letter E and the E is for equator and that way would be E
That way would be Ei inverse
And for this one here, this side one we give the letter S, and that would be S
And that would be Si
Now it's not very often we need to use these letters
But for these first few patterns that I'm going to show you we will do
So to do this pattern we're going to use an algorithm, well actually we're going to use two algorithms
We're going to use two algorithms that we've just learnt
We're going to use the center spots pattern and also the checkerboard pattern
So first we're going to use the center spots pattern, which is the E S Ei Si algorithm
So let's just do that first then, we go..
E
S
Ei
Si
And that gives us this center spots pattern
And then if we add the checkerboard algorithm to it, the S2 M2 E2 algorithm
For example
S2
M2
E2
We get this multicoloured checkerboard pattern
A nice simple, well quite complicated looking pattern
For a very simple set of algorithms. You don't have to actually learn any new algorithms
So to do this pattern and put us back to a solve Rubik's Cube
We want to use the same two algorithms again, except we want to use the checkerboard algorithm first
The S2 M2 E2
So starting from any face, it doesn't really matter
We do the checkerboard algorithm first, so we go..
S2
M2
E2
And that puts us back to the center spots pattern
And then from the center spots video we can just undo the center spots pattern
by repeating the same algorithm two more times
As long as you've got three colours mixed amongst these three faces
The front face the top face and the right face need the same three colours
So not like this, because that's no good, that'll just mix it up
You want it like this, these three colours on the front, top, right
It can be like that
Doesn't matter which, as long as you've got one on the front, one on the top, one on the right
And just repeat the same center spots algorithm two more times. So we go..
E
S
Ei
Si
Repeat it one more time..
E
S
Ei
Si
And that puts us back to a solve a 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!
