Chan Yong Kai

2×2 · top 1.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023KAIC01

Chan Yong Kai has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.42, set at Johor Cube Open 2024, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 40th in Malaysia. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2023, he has put 574 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.64 in November 2023 to 8.01, a 17% improvement. Chan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
