2×2 · top 0.66% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2025 · 2025CHOG01
Gyure Cho has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.05, set at Seoul Summer 2026, puts him in the top 0.66% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Republic of Korea. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2025, he has put 88 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.33 in May 2025 to 6.94, a 17% improvement. Gyure 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.
