Alexey Zakharov (Алексей Захаров)
2×2 · top 6.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2019 · 2019ZAKH05
Alexey Zakharov (Алексей Захаров) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at Welcome to Murmansk 2021, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 201st in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2019, he has put 120 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 35.54 in May 2019 to 19.19, a 46% improvement. Alexey has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
