Giorgos Karagiannidis

2×2 · top 9.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015KARA09

Giorgos Karagiannidis has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.57, set at Greece Spring Open 2017, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 111th in Greece. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2015, he has put 155 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.30 in December 2015 to 2.57, a 59% improvement. Giorgos has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
