Cristóbal Ignacio Olivares Tapia

Skewb · top 1.1% of 73,281 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017TAPI06

Cristóbal Ignacio Olivares Tapia has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.90, set at Viña Masters 2024, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Chile. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since October 2017, he has put 505 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.82 in October 2017 to 12.82, a 57% improvement. He has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
