There is about 5 million plus members. Go ahead and Block them all. Then you will have to play chess with yourself.

I would like to remind you that you are not allowed to talk dirty on this website.

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.

Give a rematch if the loser gave you a tough game and it was close, etc. But not just to anyone...

Plus you may not have time for it...

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

If everyone thinks like you, yes.

But at that point, I guess most sensible players would have left for a long time.

Lets see, I play live chess usually in 3 situations... 

1) at work, where i shouldn't be playing anyway and sometimes sneak in a quick game, usually 1 at a time, no rematches

2) waiting on my newborn daughter to fall asleep before leaving the room, where she could start wailing at any instant and i have to even abandon the game im in at times, so definitely no rematch then

3) on the pooper, where if i play too many games my ass falls asleep

So I guess I would be block worthy...

No one is obliged to give rematches unless hellraiser style chains come out of each player's machine and tie them down for two matches before letting go.

Very stupid. Maybe people want to do something else then playing chess again and again.. Block them? Seriously?

  • The OP was talking about BULLET games. I think. I thought he said it somewhere.
  • Bullet games last, at most, 2 mins. 
  • Everyone rematches in bullet games. 
  • I saw, though only once, GM Dretch play a series of bullet games. Maybe 15 or more. I left after for 10 mins.
  • If it is good enough for the top players to rematch, it should be good enough for everyone.(debatable)
  • This is assumed to be common courtesy amongst bullet players. To offer and accept rematches in  bullet games.
  • Bullet games are fun for the whole family.
  •  Longer games are different. They are for lazy people who don't shower.
  • However, you cannot demand a rematch because after 2 mins, people may be busy, and not have any more minutes left.
  • In bullet games some players will not rematch when they win. They will leave when you offer a rematch. But when they lose they demand a rematch. That is, they only play rematches when they lose.  Some people find this to be in bad taste. Something to do with things going both ways.
  • If someone is being discourteous, you can block them. Theoretically this leaves only the courteous ones.
  • Real bullets kill people, you can't block them.

The previous threads on this were labeled something like "Cowards" I think.

Add them to your friends list and trade funny stories of butt-hurt losers crying because you violated their sacred right to a rematch.

They also don't take showers.
