Kuzey Yilmaz

2×2 · top 17.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022YILM05

Kuzey Yilmaz has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.24, set at Goodbye Winter Ankara 2023, puts him in the top 17.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 248th in Turkey. Across 10 competitions since October 2022, he has put 277 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.42 in October 2022 to 3.24, a 27% improvement. Kuzey has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
