why should I rematch when others don’t?


Hmm, so you used to be sweet and gentle?
I took a look at your old post from 2013 on this- https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/would-it-hurt-to-rematch
You haven't really changed that I can see.

How about you stop taking losses as a personal attack of some sort and just move on to the next game and checkmate your ego at the door.
Someone has ZERO obligation to rematch. There is also zero reason to be upset about such a thing.

1-No one said you have to rematch
2- No one said that the opponent has to rematch
3- Just because u rematch doesnt mean the opponent has to too.
4- They might have to go to the bathroom, or said "Wait, let me finish this chess game" to a person on the phone.
Rinse and repeat ig, this has been repeated a lot of times

Why do u care whether someone sends u a rematch or not.
Honestly this topic has always been nonsensical. Just move on to the next game, it literally takes 5 seconds.

There is only one chess player I've seen today who fits the description of what they seem to deserve and what they actually are. (Hint: they are on this forum.)

That's a great idea, lets start with you.


Exactly... I often want to really go look at why I messed something up and it's much better to do it after the game when it's fresh in your head or whatever.

If Chess.com's "Rematch" interface would tell me that the other player has declined, then there would probably be fewer people who would request multiple rematches. Currently, the button says "Rematch", and when you click it, it spins. When the other player declines, the button goes back to saying "Rematch", and there is no other indication the other player has declined. If the other player quickly declines, it is very easy for the offering player to think they did not click the "Rematch" button.
This is actually a good observation and it needs to be addressed. Some people spam rematch and it's probably why.
I don't see what one thing has to do with the other but if you don't want to rematch, you don't have to.
