If they've logged off the live server then, no, they're by definition not available.  They can still be logged onto chess.com without being available for live games.

Did you message some shmo and ask him why he isnt available?

and their still online according to the little green dot by their name. My biggest problem w chess.com members is 9 times out of ten litteraly don't rematch

I never offer/accept rematches.

You guys who demand rematches should form a club.  Maybe call it the Best of Three Blitz Club?

  Seriously, someone should do this.  You guys will be happy knowing that every blitz game is actually a match and the rest of us?  We'll be ecstatic...(Not having to read the same complaints over and over again)

And yes, since it's such a common complaint, maybe chess.com should make it an option over on the live server to sign up for matches instead of games.

I don't usually play rematches either. Usually don't have time for 3 in a row. But I think I would once in a while if there were a way to seek a "best of 3" match.. so many people here all twisted in knots about 'cowards' running from rematches.. C.c should appease them by making best of 3 matches a standard challenge..

Why not replay, and let both players get white/black pieces. Seems kinda cowardly
