Quinn Cabralis
Quinn Cabralis, known online as fmcabralis, is a FIDE Master with a serious need for speed. The title comes from FIDE, but the real fireworks happen online, where the preferred time control is Bullet and the clock is always the second opponent.
Career Snapshot
Quinn first appeared on the rating radar in 2012, but the modern era began in 2019, when Blitz ratings jumped past 2300 and the Bullet rating followed close behind. By 2023 the Bullet rating crossed 2500, and the peak Blitz rating reached 2527 (2026-08-12). The peak Bullet rating sits at 2524 (2023-10-15), proof that Quinn's fingers move faster than most people's thoughts.
Playing Style
Quinn is a born Sicilian Defense warrior. The Four Knights Cobra Variation, the Najdorf Variation, and the Caro-Kann Defense all feature heavily in the repertoire. Quinn scores about 60 percent with White and 55 percent with Black, and decisive games tend to be marathons, averaging more than 70 moves. The stats also reveal a player who refuses to lose quietly: a comeback rate near 85 percent, a one-sided loss rate under 2 percent, and a ridiculous 59 game winning streak.

Joshua Medina and Alexcisjos also appear often in the record books, while tjlackhai can claim just a single win in 32 meetings. Even the stubborn Jesse Davidson, who has three wins, still trails in the head to head.
