Piotr Zaitsau

2×2 · top 9.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014ZAIT03

Piotr Zaitsau has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.60, set at Two days in Vitebsk 2015, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 45th in Belarus. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2014, he has put 210 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 10.55 in December 2014 to 6.68, a 37% improvement. Piotr has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Skewb. 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.
