Yu-Chen Lo (羅育辰) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.00, set at Cross-strait Cubing Exchange 2015, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 122nd in Chinese Taipei. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2015, he has put 143 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 17.35 in May 2015 to 10.75, a 38% improvement. He has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
