Maxim Shevchenko (Максим Шевченко)

3×3 · top 2.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2019 · 2019SHEV08

Maxim Shevchenko (Максим Шевченко) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.82, set at Bogoroditsk Open 2021, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 75th in Russia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since November 2019, he has put 38 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.95 in November 2019 to 7.82, a 13% improvement. Maxim has entered two competitions.

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.
