Sergey Klyakhandler

3×3 · top 3.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2011 · 2011KLYA01

Sergey Klyakhandler has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.33, set at Moscow North-West Open 2012, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 108th in Russia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2011, he has put 161 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.34 in November 2011 to 8.33, a 32% improvement. Sergey 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.
