Valeri Leich

3×3 · top 40.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2007 · 2007LEIC01

Valeri Leich has been competing for 20 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 20.02, set at Aachen Open 2009, puts him in the top 40.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,966th in Germany. Across 4 competitions since April 2007, he has put 36 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 47.93 in April 2007 to 20.02, a 58% improvement. Valeri 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.
