Stepan Anisimov (Степан Анисимов)

2×2 · top 0.59% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2018 · 2018ANIS08

Stepan Anisimov (Степан Анисимов) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.02, set at MPEI Open 2019, puts him in the top 0.59% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20th in Russia. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since September 2018, he has put 445 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.50 in September 2018 to 10.32, a 10% improvement. Stepan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
