If you don’t accept at least one rematch after you win, then you lose.

Captainbutface, You need to commit a little more… Just say I am an entitled petulant child. Don’t say ‘it would seem.’ ‘Entitled petulant child’; Good one. It delivers a very satisfying sting. I may have to use that sometime.

I have a better idea, how about if a person lose and rematches and loses again he/she loses double the points and if he/she wins he/she gets no points but gets to force his/her next opponent that beats him/her to have a rematch and in that game same thing.

Because this, from just a few days ago, wasn't clear enough?

But in the op's fantasy world, you lost.  And that's got to hurt.  Even if it's in someone else's fantasy world.

This is a topic that has become a pet peeves of mine. Many people used to ignore the notes one could leave on a profile until they were taken away, but I would routinely read them. Many of the notes would say something like "runner, do not play, bad sport" which indicates to me that the player in question didn't grant a rematch and someone was sore about losing. Unfortunately, and I can't stress this enough, *you are not entitled to a rematch.* Period. Full stop, end of sentence. I rarely grant rematches simply because there are so many players out there and I enjoy playing as many different people as possible. If you are unhappy about that, well, that is unfortunate but it's not my problem. Rematches are not required anywhere. Period.

No, I don't want a rematch! Cry like a baby all you want.

Zardorian
That’s fine, it’s OK for you to lose.
Zardorian
Super drunk, I never said I was entitled and there’s no obligation.
Zardorian
Seriously, everyone, it’s not that big a deal to lose. If you win a game against someone and don’t want to give him/her one rematch, go ahead and move on. Losing is not a big deal… Let it go. No obligation and no entitlement.
Zardorian
I should say, there have been a couple times over the months where someone lost to me and asked for a rematch and I really wasn’t in the mood… I just didn’t feel like it… I wanted to play someone else, someone new…Because...I was afraid he/she was going to beat me. That’s partly why I posted this. I lost. See? Was that so difficult? Just admit that when someone asks you for a rematch, if you don’t feel like giving them at least one, even if you have the time, it’s because you’re afraid you’re gonna lose. Whoop de doo.

Oh, and by the way, Captainbutface, you’re right, it’s two t’s. You’re going to need to take that up with my assistant: Mr. voice dictation.

Agree, minus the bolded portion which reminded the bunny of @gm_proplayer

What about a situation where a player actually had a computer glitch and you won because of it? I'm not speaking of someone making a really bad move but where it is obvious. A queen moves one place short of a capture... I guess you would have decide if someone was being honest about losing due to that.  Would you be more inclined to give a rematch if that's the case?

lendacerda

That thought just makes you a bad looser. Nobody is obligated to agree to a rematch

Drawgood
No. No one should be obligated to accept a rematch from you. You sound like a crybaby.

"But daddy, i'm entitled to a rematch, buáááaaa. I wanna, i wanna a rematch with the white pieces. I wanna wanna wanna"

We should arrange a classic OTB match with 24 games (draw odds, two hours for the first 40 moves), so we can (maybe) tell the whole story.

And no going to the toilet in between.

I just was asking for your thoughts. Did I ask for a match or rematch? NO! You don't have an obligation for a rematch, ask for a rematch, or even play...just curious, 5 year old children name call. Wow, thanks

Zardorian
Sleehrat, Yes, I would be even more inclined to give a rematch if someone had an obvious glitch.
