2×2 · top 6.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2013 · 2013ALZA01

Yuri Villanueva Alzamora has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.17, set at Trujillo Happy New Year 2020, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 157th in Peru. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 73 competitions since October 2013, he has put 1,583 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 27.33 in October 2013 to 10.21, a 63% improvement. Yuri has entered 73 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
