Denis Ichetkin
Skewb · top 9.4% of 73,281 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016ICHE01
Denis Ichetkin has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.78, set at Cuberussia in MSK 2017, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 135th in Russia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2016, he has put 134 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.09 in November 2016 to 17.47, a 42% improvement. Denis has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
