Anand Chembarpu

3×3 · top 9.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2014 · 2014CHEM01

Anand Chembarpu has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.61, set at Anaadyanta Cube Open 2017, puts him in the top 9.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,047th in India. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2014, he has put 266 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.12 in April 2014 to 10.61, a 34% improvement. Anand has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
