Silly thread.

I usualy play when I'm at work, can't get away with more than 15 - 20 minutes at a time. So rematches are nearly always impossible.

Just about to play now, and the second i'm finnished, won or lost - it's back to the grindstone :-(

Please block me. I'm begging you.

BLOCK THEM right away.  Sooner or later they won't be able to play anyone.  It is rude not to give a rematch and I block every player who doesn't give one in the spirit of having a good battle.  So make your block list huge and get rid of these types of players.

How to deal with people who think it is their right to have a rematch: laugh at them.

I understand and approve of declining a rematch for all of the reasons listed so far. Work, time constraints, or maybe you just plain don't feel like playing the same person. That's fine. But.

In my opinion, declining a rematch automatically forfeits all bragging rights. You can't say something like "Lolursobad" after winning one game and then decline a rematch. Well I guess you can, but those are the kind of people that DO deserve to be blocked and probably the people OP is talking about.

I am almost done with my autoblocking program. You can set conditions, like "block anyone who's name rhymes with 'ghost' and who plays the f4 sicilian on Thursdays."

For example, right now I am going to set it to auto-block people who troll post a lot....this should be a good test run. Ok....turning it on right n

Nobody gives a fk if you block them.

Not the point...its so sooner or later no one will play them :)...I could care less if they care...just want to ban them by force

Blocking somebody just because they don't rematch sounds pretty dumb IMO.Just play somebody else if your opp doesn't rematch.It's not as if beating or losing to the same stranger multiple times matters.

why do you love rematches so much?

Well, obviously a successful run, I had to turn it off to be able to post again.

Ok, some of you may have a different definition of the word "successful".

I think you are missing what will happen here, given the thread. You will wind up blocking everyone and having no one to play. The rest of us will continue on our merry way...oblivious to your plight.....

can it block peter? that is the ultimate test of successfulness

In a real tournament you don't get rematches.  One chance and that's it.  OK, in the candidates match they did.  However, I remember playing a chess.com member and beating him 3 times.  He kept asking for rematches.  So, go ahead and block me!
