2×2 · top 14.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017POZD01

Matvei Pozdeev has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.04, set at CCC Qualification SPB 2020, puts him in the top 14.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 533rd in Russia. Across 6 competitions since October 2017, he has put 91 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs.

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.
