Yuanze Chen (陈远泽) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.14, set at Xuzhou Zenith 2026, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 605th in China.

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.
