The forgotten YanCheng Yan3?

The designer of Yan3, Yancheng, took about a year to finalise the design and release the cube. It was probably the first to use the drawer or matchbox style box, which is now seen in a few newly released cubes. The Yan3 did not gain the fame similar to other popular speedcubes. However, it has received positive reviews from buyers on different major online speedcube shops. Some cubers are preferring it over other newer and famous speedcubes. Check Yan3 out in our online store.

A book to learn to solve speedcubes

The Secret Tutorial for Magic Cubes from QiYi is the first of its kind English solution book covering a wide range of magic cubes. If you prefer books than screen, this is a handy book. Check it out from our online store.

This small pocket size book illustrates with clear diagrams and algorithms for the solutions to all WCA cubes including 2×2 to 7×7 cubes, Megaminx, Pyraminx, Skewb and Sq1. There are also solutions to non-WCA cubes like Mirror cube, Mastermorphix, 2x2x3 cube and our Ivy cube. This book is a translation of its Chinese version that has been around for quite a while.

Besides the QiYi book, we also carry a bilingual solution book from Z-cube in our store. The Z-cube book only covers five types of magic cubes:2×2, 3×3,mirror block, pyraminx and megaminx. It was the first solution book with English description that we could find.

There have been a number of solution books in Chinese. We expect more of them will be translated into English.
