Is it wrong for me to ask for a rematch to a game I just won?

I simply want to say: "Haha, you lost, I won, sucka!!! You want some more of that where it came from??? Huh? HUH??? LOL".

Some people think this is inappropriate... Surprised

Your 1300 rated opponents must shiver at the thought... "LOL"

When I win I'll accept a rematch (if I have time), but if I'm beaten in the second game I won't, as I like to quit when I'm at least even!

I dont like to get caught up in the whole ego thing so my rule is , win or lose  let the computer do the pairings (in blitz/bullet)

I think if you are asking because, you think it is polite to offer a chance for your opponent to get a chance to redeem themselves, it is ok. If you are asking because you think they are dumb enough to say yes and you think it is easy points to pad your rating with, you are a vulture. Behave like the lion you would have your rating profess that you are.

Lions are scavengers too.

At least they hunt and kill, or am I only pseudo-educated on this and everything else, to be able spout about it?

Not near as badly in this case, although there are innumerably more reasons someone might issue a rematch request than the two listed.  That said, here are probably equally as many good animal similes for those as well.

Thanks for educating me on reality...I am glad I now think what I do.................................................................and did.

I usually offer a rematch after I just won because it's the right thing to do. But if the opponent is a you-know-what I don't offer a rematch. For example my last opponent in a completely lost game let his clock run out for the five minutes he had left instead of moving or resigning. Some people don't care about their reputation.

I just don't understand how someone could really feel good about themselves, after knowing they were taking candy from a baby. If it is your means of sustenance, it will surely give you a great big cavity.

I offer a re-match if I think that the game was fairly even.  Seems like a taunt to offer someone a re-match when you are above their level, and probably irritating to someone who squashed you like a bug.  I think it's politic to offer to play a re-match in the comments and let them actually make the challenge if they so desire.  I always hope that someone who irritated me sends a re-match.  :-)

I see nothing wrong with a rematch request, but a little more tact than "sucka" might be appreciated.

nameno1had, are you serious? It's common courtesy to offer a rematch after winning. By the way I only play strong opponents. I wouldn't call these people babies.

If they are worthy adversary, of course it is polite, but if you know you'll mop the floor with them for sure and you asked for one to pad your rating, it actually shows how superficial of a person you are. It shows you'd rather display glory that you didn't have to work as hard for.

Would you hold a 2200 player in the same regard, who got the the last 300 rating points by beating a bunch of 1600's or would you rather see that they did it by beating a good mix between 2000 to 2400?

Its a question of honor...the OP obviously like to mock and goad those he thinks he can sandbag against, into another game.

I'm a superficial person and proud... :P

Very little is actually rude. Asking for a rematch win or lose is not lose. Not saying hi is not rude. Not saying anything at th eend of the game is not rude.

 

The only rude things would be directly insulting your opponent in chat, but then again the opponent can just ignore the chat or turn it off so it isn't even that big of a deal.

I would never offer a rematch to someone who made a game losing blunder.
