Kuan-Yu Chen (陳冠諭)
2×2 · top 6.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2019 · 2019CHEK03
Kuan-Yu Chen (陳冠諭) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.26, set at Maru Cube Day 2019, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 181st in Chinese Taipei. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since July 2019, he has put 50 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.40 in July 2019 to 17.92, a 23% improvement. He has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
