New game mode

Since I joined this website, I realized is full of coward players who don't like chess, they like ELO points. Let me explain

I normally play bullet and I have always wondered why this website doesn't have a match mode, at least in bullet. Doesn't matter if I win or loose a game, if I offer revenge the opponent won't accept in 99% of the cases. Maybe because they won and they wanna secure the points, or they've lost against me and don't wanna loose more ELO points. And that's what I am complaining about: they like winning points not playing chess!

In real competitive chess, in this modality, a match are multiple games, not just one. In general, my opinion of this website is bad, and that's one more reason to my arguments.

It’s because so many players use an engine on a rematch to recover points. So, you have quite a following of players here who refuse rematches because of cheating.

Yeah, I see your point, but in my opinion, cheating in bullet games is almost impossible. I imagine you wouldn't have enough time to switch to another board, make moves there, then come back to your own game and move your pieces. You’d run out of time long before your opponent.

Also, Chess.com has systems in place to detect cheating, so I accept rematches almost every time. Chess.com has gotten pretty good at detecting suspicious patterns, especially in bullet and blitz formats. So unless someone’s showing very consistent, unnatural accuracy over time, it's hard to cheat without getting flagged.

The cheating methods go WAY beyond what you are limiting yourself too. Take a look at browser extensions, just to name one additional method, which allows for cheating during shorter time controls. It lays the moves right over the top of the board for the user, no switching back and forth required.
