FMC World 2026June 20, 2026

3 solution(s) · I’m not the person who should be at the top of that ranking, considering who I’m sharing that first-place podium with and all the people who, throughout the years, have proven their value and skills. I’m so grateful to have a group of amazing people who celebrate each other’s successes and support one another when times get tougher. Thanks to Fabian and Pasqui for delegating at our venue, and to all the organizers and delegates whose hard work has made this competition a staple of the FMC scene. Looking back, FMC World 2024 was a major turning point in my FMC journey: my first 20-move single and the lead after the first attempt on the biggest stage. The problem was that I didn’t have the experience to maintain that level. I became obsessed with trying to beat the NR mean, and because of that I DNFed the last attempt. I’ve never really been able to prove myself as a reliable and consistent solver, since my performance is highly dependent on the outcome of the first attempt. Then came other big competitions and some good results: Europe FMC Friends Winter 2025, with the first 18 and a podium alongside the Polish gang, followed by the trip to Poland that finally gave me the long-awaited NR mean. After that came some good means, as the pressure was no longer there, but also some bad performances, plenty of mistakes, and still many things to improve in my solving, especially in the DR finish stage. Joining the Ticino gang was a last-minute decision. I couldn’t let the opportunity for three means slip away. And so the suicidal run began: waking up at 4:30 AM on Saturday to catch a train to Milan and then another one to Switzerland. The first two rounds didn’t go as planned, and my hopes were nowhere to be seen for the 2 AM–6 AM FMC World mean. But, as always, PRs come when easy scrambles appear. You just need to be lucky and prepared enough to make the most of what you find, especially when it comes to A2s and sprint scrambles. I was quite surprised by how many people found the second 19. After those two attempts, the hardest task remained: a mediocre scramble and the need for a “good enough” result. I’d already experienced that situation in Kraków a year earlier, and I knew I just had to pray to the FMC gods. This time, it worked out. Personally, I wouldn’t consider the somewhat findable 21 a miss, any day of the week. I still have a lot of work to do. A good mo3 is not what represents the true value of an FMCer; consistency, knowledge, and wisdom do. The idea of optimizing every solution and extracting the full potential from every scramble is what drives us forward, even if it means learning full sub-6 DR triggers :) I know what my weaknesses are, and I’m ready to work on them.

Malegno MegaOpen 2026May 1, 2026

3 solution(s) · Not the result I wanted from my side. If we consider the set from Mallard's point of view this was a ER potential. First solve I skill issued in terms of slice finishing knowledge, second solve I skill issued in terms of HTR paths and got unlucky for not checking the right 5 movers and in the last solve I had not enough time to find the 20. 22 21 22(/20) from my DRs (and 4 move eos); 21 18 20 overall. Need to put the work in if I want to beat 20.67 and stop losing places in the rankings (2 places lost in one weekend).

Mini Mental Milano V 2025June 22, 2025

3 solution(s) · Hard set to be honest, I got best possible result from my DRs which is strange... Best possible I consider a 22,22,20. I still got 3rd place which makes two for this tour, very pleased with that.

Fun with Fewest Moves in Kraków 2025April 12, 2025

6 solution(s) · At this competition, I had my best official performance ever — and it came at the right moment, with the Polish scrambles. I’ve been chasing this goal ever since I got my 22.33, about a year ago — just one move away from the historic 22.00 mean of Sebastiano. In the rounds after that, I had many shots to get the NR mean, but I fell short under pressure and made many errors: - 23.00 at Optimal Solving in Povo 2024, with the super sprint scramble on A3 (80+ sub-5 EOs and 21.00 potential). - DNF mean at FMC 2024: 20–24 start, then I had the 12+2 to get 22 but forgot to check extensions (21.33 potential). Then Euros came, and Sebastiano woke the ancient one, lowering the NR mean to 21.33. That was great news for him, having tried many times to break his five-year standing record — but it meant the NR was even further away for me. Then more rounds came: - 23.33 at Slovenian FMC Nationals 2024, with a missed NISS 3-move EO and a forgotten 4c4e setup (21.33 potential). - 22.33 at FMC Italy 2024, with not enough time to find the 21 on A2, even though I had 4 different 10+4s (21.33 potential). - 22.00 at Europe FMC Friends – Winter 2024, starting with an 18, but had to deal with mid scrambles and missed a 22 on the last (21.00 potential). And then… this. I never had a potential mean under 21 moves. These scrambles had a lot to offer — all solutions came from instant RZP and quite easy HTRs (even the 7+5). Only the first solution was close to the time limit; for A2 and A3, I found the solutions quite early. 20.67 is very low, and I don’t think I’ll beat this mean without a good amount of luck. I want to thank my parents for supporting this trip abroad, the FMC community for all the love from around the world, and all the people I met in Poland for making this trip unforgettable. Especially Radomił, Wojciech, and Radosław for the great time we had together and the hospitality they showed me. A big thanks also to my Italian community and everyone who sent messages of appreciation — hopefully, we’ll have the chance to celebrate once I get back home. I don’t really know what goal to set now. I think I’ll just keep practicing and start enjoying the event for what it is.

Europe FMC Friends - Winter 2025February 1, 2025

3 solution(s) · Finally I get to beat 22.33. The 18 was a great opportunity and but it influenced slightly my performance (especially in the second attempt). I'm not completely satisfied cause minor management choices keep me away from getting a very good mean (and NR).

Rubik's FMC Italy 2024October 12, 2024

3 solution(s) · 22.33 tied PR and 2024 Italian Champion. Looking back at last year championship I grew a lot, giving that was my first time using DR in comp and now I am a more mature solver. This comp was very satisfying in terms of nerves, probably the chillest of this year. Pleased by the fact that I solved safely and always had two solutions (that's not the case normally for me). After second attempt I saw the margin that I had and solved like butter, without esitation. Surely some of the solutions that I found were a little lucky but I saw that luck comes also from speed, more things you check more are the chances that you get a easier DR and a better result. On the other side if I went full send on the second maybe I would have found the 21 and get NR mean. Today my goal was to solve well and the NR curse didn't get me too much, hopefully I'll get it.

Try To Get Sub-Trento 2024April 7, 2024

3 solution(s) · 22.33 is very good for me. This mean has repaid the 285 attempts made in the last seven months. It is one move away from NR but I'm not sad about it, I know that if I do well I can get it. 24,17,22 would have been a "minnie average" but I don't put myself at that level for now. I want to thank the Italian community and the FMC server for supporting my journey, in particular Tommaso for making this competition possible. There is still room for improvement and I think I can manage to average consistently sub 23 for the end of this year. Next goal: NR mean.
