The guide also explains Western (WCA) notation, which it presents as the foundation for reading algorithms.
The guide includes sections on inspection, algorithms, lookahead, turns per second, and fingertricks. It also covers the Roux and ZZ methods, 2x2 through 7x7 cubes, cube gear, timers, and reference material such as a glossary and WCA regulations summary. The guide states that it focuses primarily on the 3x3 cube, and it recommends fingertricks for progressing past the beginner stage.
