Ayaz Minnegaleev

2×2 · top 5.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2019 · 2019MINN01

Ayaz Minnegaleev has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.05, set at Izhevsk Winter Cube 2020, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 156th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2019, he has put 162 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.51 in August 2019 to 12.02, a 17% improvement. Ayaz has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
