Lianpeng Chen (陈联鹏) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.88, set at Guilin Open 2025, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 437th in China. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2017, he has put 201 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.47 in October 2017 to 6.88, a 27% improvement. Lianpeng has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
