Chess Time(App)- Rematch Etiquette

Avatar of chris_ludag

Hello,

Apologies for not posting about chess live but thought this would be a good forum on chess etiquette.

On the app chess time who ever offers a rematch is always white. I played a player (>1500) twice, first as white and I won and then accepted a rematach and I won as black.

After this he again offered a rematch, essential hoping to go white twice in a row, is this expected as I won the last game or can I refuse and offer back to alternate, as I prefer playing white? Just don't know if this would be considered rude.

My rating is (1450), although not stabilised yet.

That's one of the reasons we play here, because chess.com makes sure that the players alternate color. (It might allow your 3rd game to go forward with your opponent as white but would make sure you had white on the 4th game.)

People who refuse to abide by that, who only want to play one color (usually white) are forced to abort games and are soon restricted from proposing games.
