Balázs Bátaszéki

2×2 · top 7.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2015 · 2015BATA02

Balázs Bátaszéki has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.38, set at Hungarian Open 2015, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 105th in Hungary. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2015, he has put 112 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. He has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
