Tanyaton Chin has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.48, set at GAN New Zealand Nationals 2026, puts her in the top 8.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 185th in New Zealand.

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.
