Mikhail Kharitonov has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.75, set at MPEI Open 2019, puts him in the top 0.17% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Russia. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2019, he has put 117 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.63 in April 2019 to 10.27, a 30% improvement. Mikhail has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
