Tzu-Cheng Shih (石子承) has been competing for 9 months. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.93, set at Maru Cube Day Taiwan 2026, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 111th in Chinese Taipei. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2025, he has put 35 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.63 in November 2025 to 10.47, 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.
