Mikhail Brilliantov has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.90, set at Ramenskoe Open 2019, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 265th in Russia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since April 2019, he has put 48 official solves on the record across five events. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.45 in April 2019 to 9.90, a 14% improvement. Mikhail has entered two competitions.

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.
