Last time I will refer to this.
Playing a new opponent after you spamming me for a rematch does not make me unsportsmanlike or a "runner".
Just take your L and leave.
Who are you talking to?
It is unlikely a previous opponent will see your post.

Every few weeks, someone starts a thread about rematches and not accepting them.
I wish players that want a rematch would understand that historically, pre-internet chess, players usually didn't play a rematch. Unless your in a situation in which there are only 2 chess players, it's not an expectation to play a rematch. Instead, it's decided before playing the first game if you want to play 2 or more games.
No. Just play someone else and you'll probably be white!
Another issue. There is no difference in playing white or black. Just play solid chess.
I'm tempted to just resign straight away when I'm black and my opponent plays 1. d4. Not because it's so good, just life is too short to have to play d4 games as black!

They make round robin tournaments and pair players in WCC matches so they play black and white equally. It is unfair to make people only play black if they can't play white against the same opponent.
Because at that level, the difference between playing White or Black is much larger. It is completely fair-I would play Black 100 times in a row if I had to. The point is to play solid chess. But maybe that is just my ambivalence.
If you only want to play one game and you are white, then you should give up one of your pawns in the beginning of the game.
Stockfish evaluates no a2 pawn more equal.
The advantage is negligible. Not enough to warrant a rematch, especially below 2400.

Double round robin tournaments and matches are rare and exist only at highest level. In vast majority of chess events you play just one game against an opponent. That's the case for swiss tournaments, single round robin, chess olympiads, team events, internet arena tournaments. Rematches just don't exist in official chess (professional or amateur). The competition format defines how many games you are going to play. Format of chess.com is one game. And it is fair, that's how you agreed to play and if you check stats on average you play about same number of games as white and black.
If you can't rematch, then white should get less points for a win. If you win with black you get more points.

No. There is no significant difference in the winning probability being White or Black, especially below 2400. It's like you haven't read any other post and you're just commenting the same thing..

I know, they are all scaredy cats, they don't want to lose playing a second game as black.
You have joined this site 2 days ago, it's not a good idea to start by insulting everybody esle.

"They don't want to lose" - anything wrong about this? I don't think so. I don't want to lose neither, be it my 1st, 2nd or 100th game, as white or as black.

What I meant was they don't want their win canceled out so early and by the same opponent.
1) win can’t be cancelled, the result is stored forever
2) you are not that good in psychology to understand the motivation of others. For example I never ever play 2 games in a row because I need to analyse the game and take a break to relax.
Perhaps chess.com should add a 2 match option for general seeks. Then both players know in advance they...
A. Will play 2 games
and
B. Know they have the time to play 2 games.
EDIT:
It shouldn't force players to play 2 games, more as a courtesy that both players are at least willing to seriously consider playing a 2nd game.

I think it's a good idea.
