Chirag Asrani

3×3 one-handed · top 8.2% of 73,695 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015ASRA01

Chirag Asrani has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 15.05, set at Phoenix Cube Championship 2018, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 268th in India. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2015, he has put 229 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.19 in December 2015 to 10.88, a 57% improvement. Chirag has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
