Pretty bad one to start, though it had 2 3 move EOs, they were useless.There were some 22s possible but I didn’t find them oops

I've wanted to use this extremely cursed HTR pathway that goes through 4c3 for a very long time, the first time it worked out was officially!!! But why did it +1 even with blocky fish :((((

Turns out you didn't actually have to use this pathway since there is a more normal 4q 21.

Mallard lists a couple of 20s from 6 to rzp 11 to DR like this, but the 8 move DR and extensions was too distracting

I found this DR only at 50 minutes because I realised I forgot to switch this RZP, luckily the finish was easy. In the time rush I also did not even consider the 2 ways to get 2c3 in 10 from inverse, but they were not better than 21 anyway.

There's also another 20 to slice on this that sucked:

U2 R B R F' (U F2 L2 B')
U' (F2 D' L2 U)
(R2 F' B D2 F' B')

1 move EO!

so, the DR is found like this:

(D')//premove abuse
L//EO
D//RZP 4e4c 2 pairs
(B U F' D' L2 D)//cool 5 move trigger usage!

The more normal way to get to DR from inverse gives a 4b2 in 9:

L
D (D' B U2 F U2 F' U)

This 19 also beats mallard :)

This has to be the first time ever getting a good result with this form of EO lol

I found this 8+2 which I was 99% sure was going to be my final solution:

U F2 L2 R' U
(F) L2 F//4b2 4e, I switched the EO because it was 4e4c 2 pairs niss trace.

I could not get it to work at all, and at about 45 minutes I tried the most obvious thing on the 9+3 and a 21 came out right away.

I didn't have much else to look at on this solve, which is kind of odd considering the 2 DRs I had were sub-10 lol

Turns out the 8+2 is 21 optimal with a very hard 4q pathway, so ew



Also yeah 18 by Hong Liang but 6 move eo so no

2 move EO and 1 move EO in the same round lol

This finish was literally the first thing I tried on this DR, I was hoping the double slice thing will cancel 2 and give me 19.67, filling a gap in my means but alas it was not meant to be

Mallard outputs this 19 but eeeh idk
