Ilya Finaev

2×2 · top 10.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2014 · 2014FINA01

Ilya Finaev has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.66, set at Moscow Spring Open 2015, puts him in the top 10.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 356th in Russia. Across 5 competitions since November 2014, he has put 122 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.44 in November 2014 to 16.22, a 55% improvement. Ilya 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.
