I think that someone know already ...
it's just the procedure of pulling rls.

NO. 1 2 3
YES. 1 3 2

the pocedure NO, because after the second, the third becomes too low and rls, fails to level good.
the procedure YES. first pull one, then pull 3, finally the second, including supporting one knee, succeeds to level embarking the tile.
while rls number 1 and 3 remain precise.
I posed 100x50 boarded, brick type, same procedure, however, to pull the number 2, I went up standing to the tile. 65kg, to straighten tile. (The story must remain between us) 😉

Yes Antonio I have done this before, but only on a very short staggered bond with a plank at least 900mm long. By doing this your splitting the resistance in half because points 1 & 3 are clamped the distance point 2 has to travel to be flush is halved and easier to achieve.
You explained that very well, bravo!
 
Before I discovered clamps like rls I achieved this with small wedges carefully positioned under certain points of the tile and heavy weights on top of the opposing tile, much slower and heart breaking 🙁
