Yu-Chuan Chen (陳宥銓) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.30, set at Kunshan Open 2019, puts him in the top 14.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 886th in Chinese Taipei. Across 5 competitions since July 2017, he has put 61 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.04 in July 2017 to 12.30, a 32% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
