Use the Reverse of Move 1 to rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise.
Shown below are figures to help you visualize what the steps of Center Move 1 involve.
I have included these to help readers accustom themselves with the notation system.
| Move 1: V-1 H-1 V U V-1 H V U-1 | |
|
|
|
| V-1: Rotate the center vertical slice down toward you (counterclockwise) | H-1: Rotate the center horizontal slice to the right (counterclockwise) |
|
|
|
| V: Rotate the center vertical slice up and away from you (clockwise) | U: Rotate the top side clockwise |
|
|
|
| V-1: Rotate the center vertical slice down toward you (counterclockwise) | H: Rotate the center horizontal slice to the left (clockwise) |
|
|
|
| V: Rotate the center vertical slice up and away from you (clockwise) | U-1: Rotate the top side counterclockwise |
|

The move is complete, and has rotated the middle-center piece on the left face 90 degrees clockwise. Use the Reverse of Move 1 to rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise. |

Continue rotating the middle-center pieces.
Contact info: I appreciate receiving e-mails describing your success with these directions, but I cannot provide any additional help in solving the Rubik's cube beyond the instructions and steps shown here. Please also e-mail if you have problems accessing a page or seeing a graphic.
