Yueyu Chen (陈玥羽) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.08, set at Shanghai Summer 2026, puts her in the top 5.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,933rd in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2025, she has put 59 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 30.41 in March 2025 to 9.08, a 70% improvement. Yueyu has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
