3×3 · top 7.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2022 · 2022KAID01

Ansar Kaidarov has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.86, set at Astana Spring 2024, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 90th in Kazakhstan. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2022, he has put 125 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.89 in March 2022 to 9.86, a 57% improvement. Ansar has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
