Anzhi Chen (陈安之) has been competing for 6 months. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.97, set at Guangzhou GraDUAL 3x3 II 2026, puts her in the top 2.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 989th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2026, she has put 54 official solves on the record across two events.

Anzhi has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
