Emin Çelikkan

2×2 · top 7.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2013 · 2013CELI01

Emin Çelikkan has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.39, set at Good Old Days Ankara 2019, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 116th in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2013, he has put 431 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.91 in April 2013 to 10.52, a 29% improvement. Emin has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
