How to recognise it

Corner above the slot with white facing you; the edge is beside it in front, its top colour matching the corner's right sticker.

Its inverse is another case

Do the 13 algorithm backwards, F' U F2 R' F' R2 U' R', and you are solving 2.

That's why CubeDojo never scrambles 13 that way: it builds a random state with the case fixed, so you practise 13 and not 2.
