Ali Magazbekov (Али Магазбеков)

3×3 one-handed · top 7.5% of 73,695 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018MAGA03

Ali Magazbekov (Али Магазбеков) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.71, set at KSF Nur-Sultan City 2019, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 37th in Kazakhstan. Until August 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2018, he has put 177 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.49 in June 2018 to 10.54, a 27% improvement. Ali has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
