Yes, there is a pattern, and it always works.

Yeah, you can master the cube in a day.  Mastering chess is impossible for some and takes years of study and practice for anyone who can.

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

Heh. Tarrasch's quote repeated by Chessmaster102. Ironic?

Yeah you just have to memorize the patterns written on the first page. Actually, your hands memorize the patterns, your mind forgets them. Once again, you CAN'T figure it out in one day! It takes at least a week

I can solve the cube in under a minute. It is not even near as difficult as it seems, and is actually very simple once you understand the concepts and can apply the algorithms.

I think solving the rubiks cube is easier. I onced played with a stinking chess master and it was so bad. Two scenarios: He was definitely stronger than me at chess but his breath and armpit odor was much much stronger.

Rubil's cube has more combinations than there are forum posts about the number of possible chess positions.

Solving a Rubik's cube is easy. I can do it in less than five minutes just about every time. Playing a chess master is easier though, since you don't really have to devote any effort to play chess.

Which of these is harder:

1. Solving a Rubik's cube blindfold

2. Beating a chess master blindfold

Avatar of AndyClifton

Then there is that perplexing problem of why you'd want to solve a Rubik's cube.

Avatar of MaartenSmit

I solve cubes blindfolded regularly, it's really not that hard. It obviously takes much less training than getting good enough at chess to beat a chess master, let alone blindfolded.

Rubiks cube definately. I can do that in about a minute.
