which do you think is harder? Facing a chess master (like Bobby Fisher, Kasparov, Karpov, etc) or facing the eight wonder of the world, the rubik's cube.

Playing a chess master is so easy anyone can do it, I think you mean beating a chess master.

playing a master, but you can't master the rubix cube in a day, it takes about a week.

matthew you know what I meant

You can look up the answer to solving a Rubik's Cube, and have it done in a day. I don't doubt the answer can also be memorized in a day too. I know it didn't take me long when i found answers that i could understand.

Yeah, a 3x3 cube can be mastered in a day or two, far easier than beating a master level chess player.  Something like a 5x5 cube or blindfold cubing within a time limit could be a contender though.

Well, I've played lots of masters...but I've never solved the Rubik's cuke.

Avatar of MaartenSmit

I learned how to solve the cube in half an hour. You can learn the rules of chess probably a little faster than that. Going by that, playing a master is easier.

Seriously though, it's a ridiculous comparison.

if you know how to solve one you may understand this

Worst notation ever. Counterclockwise moves should be notated with an apostrophe, double turns with a 2. I guess you used that 'pogobat' guy's tutorial on youtube..?

Hey, same to you, koala! Laughing

Avatar of kodeeak

sorry I guess I wanted to keep people in mystery, can't fool you and sorry for the notation I was just abbrieviating I thought this would make more sense to people

How DO you solve a rubix cube exactly?

Avatar of kodeeak

it's difficult to explain in chat go to youtube I'm sure they have tons of videos

Avatar of AndyClifton

I've heard pogobat is good.

It's funny I have met a lot of chessmasters but non who have mastered chess!~Tarrasch

Avatar of kodeeak

he's good at explaining but his notation is bad like smit said

Avatar of MaartenSmit

Depends, speedwise pogobat uses a terrible method. It's easy to learn though.
