Yiğit Eren Bakır
2×2 · top 3.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2018 · 2018BAKI04
Yiğit Eren Bakır has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.85, set at Ankara Winter 2022, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 50th in Turkey. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since September 2018, he has put 231 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 10.15 in September 2018 to 1.85, an 82% improvement. He has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
