Chess.com matchmaking?!?!

I play a game, finish it and my opponent offers a rematch. I decline then click new game but then chess.com matchmaking pairs me with the same person. Is there a way to avoid this?

Maybe try going over to forums. Then going back to the play tab. If that doesn’t work. Switch the time control to something different. Then switch back to what you want. Then hit play.

 

if you use a web browser for chess. Then refresh the page.

 

hope this helps.

I do not think there is a way if you don't want to wait a minute (and hope your not-wanted opponent is already matched with another player by then)

The manual way is to just block them, then after you're finished playing, unblock them. 

That's the only way I could think of.

sad.png but I don't want to block randos

Just wait for like 5 seconds or something after you denied their last rematch... should do the trick happy.png but if I get paired again lel

Avatar of FMLarry

You can just unblock them after

Another way is to see if the person you don't wanna play is playing, so you can send out your challenge with no chance of them accepting, unless they decided to end the game very quick.

I once had this FM message me "Goodbye." and block me after I flagged them.

Avatar of IcyAvaleigh
yeah imagine players blocking you because you play on time at bullet 0_o

to be honest every flag-complainer who plays bullet just looks dumb to me xD

He could have a membership, so he could just see you and click manually on your challenge.

If not, you were unfortunate enough to seek the next game at the same time as him.

There are a few options if you do not want to play the same person right away:

1. block

2. wait for a while and even perhaps look at his profile to see that he is playing (you can even click on the game to be extra sure)

3. abort the game if it pairs you with him (but don't do it too many times, you might lose a right to abort games)

I understand getting angry when you get flagged (I've had those moments) but I don't think I ever blocked someone. At least I don't remember. 

Sometimes my opponent plays so cleanly I just admire it and congratulate them.

huh no I mean when chess.com matchmaking pairs me against someone whove I've already declines a challenge from 

Avatar of ricechesmaster

alr guys gn if a mod happens to see this then please respond. I've been thinking

maybe I"m at a level of rating where there are few players to pair me against in my rating range that my opponents are the only options

Avatar of mrfreezyiceboy

don't know any way to avoid that other than blocking them or something, but i guess just abort and try to join a new game
