3×3 · top 1.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017ENSH01
Chua En Shi has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.06, set at XMUM Cube Open 2025, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 62nd in Malaysia. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since February 2017, he has put 135 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.53 in February 2017 to 7.06, a 66% improvement. Chua has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
