Dawid Schwalbe has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.86, set at Byczy Cube Race 2017, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 349th in Poland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2016, he has put 322 official solves on the record across eleven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 24.55 in October 2016 to 9.24, a 62% improvement. Dawid has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
