Yerkin Assylbek has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.86, set at KSF Club Almaty 2022, puts him in the top 0.41% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Kazakhstan. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since November 2018, he has put 1,473 official solves on the record across 16 events.

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.
