Xiaoyu Chen (陈校雨) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.00, set at China Championship 2019, puts him in the top 0.56% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 58th in China. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2018, he has put 264 official solves on the record across six events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 4.04 in October 2018 to 1.00, a 75% improvement. Xiaoyu has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
