Alisher Isagaliev has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.55, set at Cubing Kazakhstan Nationals 2022, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Kazakhstan. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since June 2018, he has put 1,199 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.03 in June 2018 to 8.64, a 43% improvement. Alisher has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
