Thalita Cincinato: The Blitz Marathone
Built for Blitz
Thalita Cincinato, known online as tcincinato, is a Woman FIDE Master with a serious love for fast chess. Her preferred time control is clearly Blitz: she has more than 43,000 rated blitz games on record. She began as a solid 1800-level Daily player, then turned her attention to quicker time controls and never looked back. By August 2026, she reached a Blitz peak of 2404, a climb that took her from the 1700s to the edge of master-level territory.
Repertoire and Grit
Thalita is not afraid of sharp or unusual lines. With Black, her longest love is the Sicilian Defense: O'Kelly Variation, where she has played over 6,000 blitz games with a positive record. With White, she enjoys the Amazon Attack and the Caro-Kann Defense, and she will happily spend 70 moves grinding out a win. Her endgame frequency is over 71%, her early resignation rate is only 1.66%, and when she loses a piece she still wins almost 48% of the time. Against lower rated opponents, she converts at about 63%, and even against higher rated players she keeps the fight alive.
Rivalry Files
Some of her greatest battles have come against familiar online rivals. Her most played opponent is resielepuer with 159 recorded meetings, and she holds a narrow edge in that series. Another frequent foe, Estacio Limberg, has gotten the better of their head-to-head, proving that even marathons have tough miles. Her longest winning streak was 16 games, while her longest losing streak stretched to 23, so she knows both sides of the scoreboard.
