I love them because I eventually find my opponents weaknesses and farm them
What is your opinion on rematches?
Sort:
Am I the only one who has difficulties understanding the opening post? It's just a jumbled mess of sentences that have no connection to each other.

It is garbled, but I think the OP believes he is entitled to two games against every opponent. He’s mixed this concept with other unrelated things.
I think anyone who whines that they didn't get a rematch has better things to do.
I never play rematches in live chess.
I like playing chess.com because it gives me a variety of opponents, why play the same player two games in a row? Also, I quite often play chess games between doing other things, I have things to do.
In daily chess I do accept rematches... eventually, after playing other opponents first. However, people often withdraw their rematch request before I get around to playing them.

I'm having difficultys understanding what exactly your problem is? In irl tournaments you also don't play the same opponent more than once. No one owes you a rematch, if they don't feel like playing against you again. Also why would you have an incentive to let the time run out instead of resigning? You are just waisting your own and your opponents time
-"Stalling" goes against fair play policy. The guy just admitted he stalls when in a losing position.

Spam rematch untill you win, even if it takes 100 games, I once lost 9 games to a guy but managed to draw 10th game and I was so happy!!! It was my victory
Years ago when I would lose to a lower rated player, I would request rematches until I’d won back all my rating points. It’s called high risk behavior.

Maintaining sportsmanship and integrity is important in chess, even when faced with unsportsmanlike conduct.
If its a very close game, I'll probably agree. But no obligation whatsoever.

I don't do rematches generally. I've lost every rematch except for 1 or 2, which has led me to believe that I was playing sandbaggers with multiple accounts.
Please don’t assume there is some politeness involved when it comes to giving people rematches, something much more impolite is stalling and you seem to have no trouble doing that. If I sign up to play a 15|10 game that takes 45 minutes, I do not have to play another so you can feel you had your chance with both white and black. If you are not confident enough to face anyone you’re matched with on either side of the board, then assuming that others must play with both colors just holds you back, in my opinion.
