Alexey Oblaukhov
2×2 · top 2.8% of 189,179 all-time · competing since August 2011 · 2011OBLA01
Alexey Oblaukhov has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.63, set at Russia Open 2011, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 95th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2011, he has put 326 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 56% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.00 in August 2011 to 11.52, a 23% improvement. Alexey has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
