Denis Uglov

3×3 · top 9.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2010 · 2010UGLO01

Denis Uglov has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.55, set at MPEI Open 2012, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 365th in Russia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since November 2010, he has put 144 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.58 in July 2011 to 10.55, a 59% improvement. Denis has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
