Noida Summer Cube Open 2026

Kunal Oak set the standard in the one-handed discipline with a decisive 13.89-second final average, turning complex fingertricks and single-hand ergonomics into a winning formula. The 3x3x3 One-Handed event demands exceptional finger strength, deliberate table grip, and distinct lookahead routines compared to standard solving. Oak navigated a competitive field of 49 solvers to claim first place with a round-best single of 11.78 seconds, finishing just ahead of Ojas Nimaje who posted a 14.05 average and Shivam Bansal in third at 15.83.
