Etiquette Question for Daily Chess

Sort:
scotmay13

Am I expecting too much?  When I play a person in non-tournament, daily chess, I expect we'll play two games.   Win or lose, I challenge the person to another match.  I find that others don't follow this rule?  It's something my brother taught me when I was first learning.   Am I out of line to expect a second match? 

Note: These are not matches where I'm playing others with much higher rankings than mine.  Typically, my matches are with others with ratings 100 points above or below me.  Nor are these matches non-competitive games.

For the 493,057,601st. time.  Rematches are not an obligation.

They are good etiquette though.

No one is forced into giving, offering or accepting rematches. 

 

So yes, you are expecting too much.

There is a difference in obligation and etiquette. I was not asking if people are required, but is it tradition or etiquette?  I realize my use of the word "rule" might have muddied the waters in my question.  I am now clear...don't expect rematches.  Thanks.

I wouldn't say rematches are part of etiquette in daily. Despite the flexibility of the format I decline rematches if I've become very busy at work for example or if pressing issues at home have come up. Some people, such as myself, play daily because we are time poor. It is unfair to suggest people like me are being rude by declining.

There's nothing in the etiquette saying you have to give a rematch.

It's always important to use the correct forks!

scotmay, by the same token that one could argue it's good etiquette to give a rematch, it's also good etiquette to resign in daily chess when you are losing by as much as you have been in some of your games. you are certainly not required to and it's not a given. i think some of your rematch requests may have been rejected because of this

Hello, 

How about setting the daily game on physical board at home and analysing the game while its on? How is this considered in daily game etiquette or is it something everybody does?

@Antares No problem with that. On the app there is an analyze button and then you can go into Explorer and you can play around with it as if it was a physical board. Same on the computer and you can also set a premove depending on your opponents move.

'Conditional moves' is the correct search term.

Miss Manners says, "You may know how to use forks correctly, but do you know about spoons and knives?"

I never accept rematches from myself.
