Yaxin Chen (陈雅馨) has been competing for 7 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.77, set at Tokyo Spring 2026, puts her in the top 6.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,656th in China. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since December 2019, she has put 30 official solves on the record across three events. Her 3×3 best has come down from 11.24 in December 2019 to 9.77, a 13% improvement. Yaxin has entered two competitions.

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.
