Lack of courtesy or cowardice? What has this "gentleman's game" become?

Yes. But I think cricket is one too. I've never heard of chess being called a gentlemans game, but I suppose it could be. Supposedly it's any game with a lot of rules and etiquette. At over 600 pages of rules golf probably has the top spot. I like it for the same reason I like chess, a lot of social interaction so you dont have to be good at it to enjoy it.

For a guy who has played thousands of games, your rating sure could use a bump.

I'm new to the forums and if my reason has already been mentioned I appoligize
When I play a live game there are times when I only can get one game in before I have to leave.
If it's a win or a loss it doesn't matter to me.

I don't understand. Is one obliged to give a rematch? Rather, are they obliged to PROVE they are the better player? Some of us are more concerned with gathering more information and learning more. Why would I want to prove anything to a person behind sheet of Silicon and anonymity?
Sometimes, the behaviour on this site is so pathetic that I leave the moment my game is done. Earlier, I had a moron flaming me for not accepting a rematch when he was a Queen for Bishop down and played on in a lost position.
Noone owes you a rematch. Make your peace with it.
