2×2 · top 6.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2019 · 2019LUBE01

Ilya Lubeznov (Илья Любезнов) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.25, set at Siberia Open 2020, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 216th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since June 2019, he has put 38 official solves on the record across four events. His 3×3 best has come down from 41.99 in June 2019 to 16.48, a 61% improvement. Ilya has entered two competitions.

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.
