Yu-Hao Chen (陳鈺昊) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.10, set at Taipei Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 167th in Chinese Taipei. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since September 2023, he has put 64 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.38 in September 2023 to 8.10, a 58% improvement. He 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.
