Serhii Bocharov (Сергій Бочаров)
Square-1 · top 8.8% of 25,272 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014BOCH02
Serhii Bocharov (Сергій Бочаров) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 11.50, set at Kharkiv Special 2016, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 25th in Ukraine. Until October 2009, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2014, he has put 140 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.64 in December 2014 to 12.05, a 55% improvement. Serhii has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
