Yunzhao Tan (谭云钊)
2×2 · top 3.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017TANY01
Yunzhao Tan (谭云钊) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.77, set at Hefei Spring 2019, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 450th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2017, he has put 58 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.76 in November 2017 to 1.77, a 63% improvement. Yunzhao has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
