Manuel Aleandro Chang Pérez has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.78, set at Xela Open 2016, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Guatemala. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 18 competitions since September 2015, he has put 1,420 official solves on the record across 15 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.90 in September 2015 to 9.37, a 50% improvement. Manuel has entered 18 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
