Jr Raheem

Profile of Jr Raheem (aka ThinkingLion6)

Meet Jr Raheem, who fights battles on the 64 squares with all the bravado of a lion – hence the fitting username ThinkingLion6. With a peak rapid rating of 341 (reached in March 2025), Jr Raheem is no stranger to dramatic ups and downs, averaging a modest but respectable rating around 200 in recent games.

Playing Style & Stats

Known for his tactical wizardry and high resilience, Jr Raheem sports an impressive 87.5% comeback rate, meaning he doesn’t give up easily even when the odds are against him. Although his win rate dips significantly against higher-rated opponents (he tends to shine against those rated lower), his aggressive style keeps viewers on edge. His psychological tilt factor is relatively low at 6, indicating he keeps a cool head - but even lions get rattled sometimes.

He has a bit of a love-hate relationship with certain openings. While the King's Pawn Opening brings him solid returns (~67% win rate), dives into the Scandinavian Defense or Closed Sicilian have been less kind, with no wins yet in those lines. One cannot help but admire how he boldly charges into the Scotch Game and the King's Pawn Opening St George Defense, both boasting 100% win rates (albeit from limited games).

Memorable Moments

One of Jr Raheem's fluffiest pawns moment came on April 28, 2025, with a crushing victory that began with an early queen sortie to Qh5 and won by forcing a resigned abandonment. Not only did he survive the fierce opening skirmishes, but he turned the tables with biting counterattacks, showcasing both strategic vision and nerve.

Of course, no lion's tale is complete without tales of defeat. May 6, 2025, proved tougher with a string of losses, including a brutal checkmate following a sneaky opponent’s Qxf7#—a reminder that even kings must beware the vulnerable f7 square!
