Maxim Ryabykh

2×2 · top 8.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016RYAB01

Maxim Ryabykh has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.47, set at Belgorod Open 2019, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 278th in Russia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2016, he has put 189 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 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.25 in October 2016 to 11.28, a 67% improvement. Maxim has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
