Ilya Naumov

3×3 · top 32.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017NAUM05

Ilya Naumov has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 17.60, set at Ural Autumn 2019, puts him in the top 32.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,742nd in Russia. Across 8 competitions since November 2017, he has put 115 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.53 in November 2017 to 17.60, an 18% improvement. Ilya has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
