Ivan Zubarev has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.21, set at MPEI Open 2018, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 204th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2017, he has put 169 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.36 in October 2017 to 10.03, a 39% improvement. Ivan 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.
