Dağhan Yılmaz has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.54, set at Ankara June 2023, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 138th in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2023, he has put 139 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.42 in March 2023 to 12.12, a 38% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
