3×3 · top 2.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2026 · 2026AMUR01
Tursunali Amurlaev has been competing for 8 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.92, set at Cubing Kazakhstan Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 32nd in Kazakhstan. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2026, he has put 237 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.81 in January 2026 to 7.92, a 33% improvement. Tursunali 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.
