Eric Che

3×3 blindfolded · top 6.0% of 12,178 all-time · competing since September 2022 · 2022CHEE02

Eric Che has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 37.10, set at Naperville Fall 2025, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 118th in the United States. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since September 2022, he has put 125 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.56 in September 2022 to 9.98, a 26% improvement. Eric has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
