Max Zvolensky
2×2 · top 0.68% of 189,179 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024ZVOL01
Max Zvolensky has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.06, set at Missouri Championship 2026, puts him in the top 0.68% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 289th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2024, he has put 203 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.90 in March 2024 to 8.03, a 58% improvement. Max has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
