Americans do not give rematch
Sort:
I enjoy playing with many different people. Unless it was a close match or blundered hard, I don’t usually rematch. Not sure it’s just an American thing though.

You see? This is what I don’t like about chess. It’s people who think of chess as a macho show of strength rather than a game do be enjoyed. Cowardice is a fear of losing, but I don’t care about losing, I just play for fun. Clearly you think it’s about a display of superiority, and I’m sorry, I’m not going to indulge you.
There are lots of reasons people don’t want a rematch. My main one is that I don’t feel like playing anymore. Sometimes I just gotta pee. Sometimes I don’t like your style of play.
Worse yet, I absolutely will not play a rematch if you 1. offer draws in lost positions, or 2. refuse to resign in a dead lost position.
You can’t make me rematch against you, and if it makes you angry, good! I’ll just laugh.

No matter win or lose, they always run. Don't know what's the reason, such a great nation, but in chess I guess they are just cowards...
Aren't you brave enough to face a different player?

Wildly broad irrational, unfounded generalizations are always the way to go!
Always good to see ignorance alive and well.

@bacon I don’t know. He may be right. Maybe vengeance and blood feuds are less an American thing.
Frankly, if I thought about it a really really long time, I might find something I care about less than ensuring some dude has a chance to salvage his honor.

Things that might possibly be of less importance than salvaging someones online chess honor:
Things that are more important that salvaging someones online chess honor:
Cleaning out the vegetable bins in my fridge.
Vacuuming.
Stubbing my toe.
Clipping my toe nails.
Just to name a few...

Sounds like something Yogi Berra would have said.

I was going to go with I care less about what brand of soap Kim Kardashian uses to wash her panties... but no, I think I care more about that too.
I totally agree with Post #3. I dont give rematch because many people take it personal. Ive seen many situations
1. they win first game, ask for rematch , you accept and then they cancel the game.
2. they win , and leave after leaving a message , usually making fun of u.
So i just play one game with each one, toavoid this situations..
the end.

We gave Germany a rematch.
Actually Germany started another game against some lower rated opponents. We came in and won the game.

Allow me to rephrase that for you.....
" I wish to announce to all chess.com forum readers that because I have an irrational dislike of Americans I will make a post calling all of them cowards"
I suggest you study your history of the 20th century. Hundreds of thousands of Americans died saving your country from Nazi/dictatorship rule. Your respect for them is sorely lacking.
and you are blocked
