Yeskendir Kenzhebolat has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.18, set at Viljandi Open 2026, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Kazakhstan. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since January 2024, he has put 1,586 official solves on the record across 15 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.56 in January 2024 to 8.36, a 50% improvement. Yeskendir has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
