Bucharest Cubing May 2025

Five distinct puzzle disciplines tested every angle of speedcubing dexterity on May 24, 2025, bringing together thirty-nine competitors for a compact and varied day of action. Held at Colegiul Tehnologic Viaceslav Harnaj in Bucuresti, Romania, the schedule moved through eleven intense rounds that stretched far beyond standard twisty puzzles. Solvers tackled everything from two-layered pockets to heavy four-layered cubes, triangular pyramids, and the mechanical gears of Clock. The spread challenged participants to pivot constantly between varying grip styles, turning mechanics, and specialized inspection strategies.

Bucharest Cubing May 2025 offered an expansive platform for all-around puzzle mastery. In the premier 3x3x3 Cube event, thirty-eight solvers battled across three rigorous rounds to produce the definitive 3x3 results of the weekend. Ianis Costin Chele captured the championship with an outstanding 6.25 winning average in the final round, highlighted by a sharp 5.47 best single solve. Serban Stelian secured the runner-up position with a 7.69 average, while Mihail Stoicescu completed the podium steps with a mark of 9.03.
