Chee Wei Ian

3×3 · top 2.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023IANC02

Chee Wei Ian has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.89, set at Kuala Lumpur Cubing Challenge 2025, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 118th in Malaysia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2023, he has put 168 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.61 in March 2023 to 7.89, a 42% improvement. Chee has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
