Rubik's Cube·Play

First: what counts as winning?

There is no opponent. The goal is a solved cube: all six faces each have one colour and every piece matches the adjacent centres in position and orientation. Solving one face is not solving the cube.

A white face with mixed side colours is only partial progress. The first turning exercise simply asks you to return to its solved starting state.

Each exercise has a limited goal; playing an algorithm does not solve every scramble.
