Hey everyone, I recently have been having some doubts about ZB, which I would prefer not to be having, but I wanted to bring them up.
I recently met with Dan Knights and asked him what he thought about ZB. His response was, for the most part, that it seemed like a good method but that recognition seems that it would be a big problem. I also have noticed that I still delay quite a bit using the block method for my ZBLL cases. I'm at a dilemma. I have been talking with lots of people about Fridrich after the 2005RWC and have found lots of really useful ways to drop my average. I even think now that I could get sub-15 with Fridrich were I to just implement all the changes that I should implement. Also though, I really am curious about the potential for ZB. I know that if I don't try it out myself, knowing all or at least almost all of it, my curiosity of whether or not it is a worthwhile method would eventually drive me insane. So I'm stuck. I have two methods that both require quite a bit of work to learn/master and only 24 hours in a day. How can we balance these methods? Should I extend my goal to learning ZB for another year or two and learn at a slower pace, and also practice Fridrich half the time? Also, after talking with Dan I think we really are underestimating the problem of recognition. I think we need to develop several methods for recognizing each case. Be able to recognize from any angle, etc. I really think just saying "oh and look at the case to reconize" will not work. We need to turn ZBF2L and ZBLL recognition into a science. I am going to post pictures of all my algs from all 4 angles for all my ZBLL algs. I will make a page for recognition at every angle since I believe just recognizing at one will not work to master this method. The more I think about it, the harder this method will be to master, and the more I want to learn it :-) So anyway, I think we have grossly and terribly underestimated the problem of recognition. I think at a bare minimum we all need to recognize ZBF2L and ZBLL from any angle, and ZBF2L done in any F2L slot. So I'm trying to find a balance, but there is so much to do and so little free time in a day :-( Any help whatsoever would be appreciated, I just want to stay motivated.
