I declined a rematch in blitz and player calls me a coward, tells me to grow up

I played a live blitz game for fun, and won against a player lower rated than me. He sent me a rematch after easily losing, and I did not accept because I had an important thing to do (it’s personal) then a few hours later I found out that he sent a message saying: keep running coward.

I tried explaining to him that I had something important to do, and he told me I shouldn’t have played the one game in blitz to begin with. Then he kept telling me to grow up, learn chess etiquette, and called me immature even though I was talking to him nicely and explaining why I couldn’t accept the rematch.

Next he started swearing at me just because I told him I didn’t agree. 

What should I do if players offer me a rematch and I don’t have time to accept it?

If it happens again, report.  Accepting a rematch is your choice.

You should do exactly what you did.

You aren't responsible for immature players who cannot stand to lose a chess game. Just ignore them. If they harrass you, report them and block them.

Ok, Thanks I already reported them.

You don’t owe him any explanation as to why you didn’t play a second game. Sure, it’s nice, but it’s really not an obligation. I never feel bad if can only play someone once (and I don’t take offence if my opponent is the same).

You handled it as best you could.

There is no reason whatsoever for replying to, or even acknowledging, a loud-mouthed poor loser.  Delete their stupid message and go on with life. Don't waste your time trying to educate morons

You still need to remain calm and respectful and don’t let him ruin your day, or your game.

I would tell him what I normally say when turning down a date:

“I think you’re a wonderul person, but I just don’t feel any attraction to you. “
Or

“Can we just remain as friends?” 😂

Nice of you to be respectful, I would of rubbed in his face that he lost. You aren’t required to rematch anyone. I personally rarely do, no matter if I win or lose. Plus guys like that reinforces why I don’t rematch, i find it entertaining.

Possible answers:

1. I was hoping for a real challenge.
2. Your profile picture makes me uncomfortable.
3. Your style of play reminds me of someone I hate.
4. Rematch with you? Eww.
5. Awww... little baby has a diaper rash?
6. The first thrashing is free. You’ll have to pay for the next one. Shall I send you my Venmo?

This is worth making a forum post about? Grow up is correct. 

 

I made this forum post to ask people what I should do if someone rematches me after losing badly. I’ve come across quite a few 12-15 year olds who are disrespectful and can’t take losing, and they are so annoying with their avoiding chat filter to swear and making multiple accounts to harass me. The point is the guy was telling me to grow up just because I had something more important to do than to accept his rematch.

Lol just report them. They can't be making multiple accounts to harass you in the gaming chatbox though, as the pairing is random. 

 

Yeah thanks I did, I meant there’s no way to stop people creating accounts then sending you private messages.  Oh never mind I am dumb. I can turn messages off...

Pay2PlayAGM closed for "Abuse."  Could be a temporary mute, though.
