Fedor Tarasov

2×2 · top 5.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2019 · 2019TARA17

Fedor Tarasov has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.07, set at Cubing Ekat Open 2021, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 165th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2019, he has put 81 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.08 in October 2019 to 10.10, a 33% improvement. Fedor has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
