I never give a rematch and I never ask for a rematch and I find the whole "rematch is a matter of honour and chessetiquette"-thing highly ridiculous 

I find a bullet match (1/0) rather exhausting thats why I will always do a short break of sime min. before playing the next. As I am nearly every day 1 or 2 hours here online, I will rematch any of my opponents dozens of times in my chess.com career. So the whole rematch thing is IMHO anachronistic

Behave you like you behave in real life, no more, no less. Nobody demands 12345 rematches. Perhaps just one!?

I'll be content with those people, if they would say before they begin to play, that they don't offer rematch.

Politeness is not anachronistic.

Internet is a nest of frustrated people, who think, they are more than they really are and something like online(live) chess gives that courage, they don't have.

Each one, who does it, increases my blocked list. It's easy, isn't it?

 

But there is something worst, people, who laugh, if they win.

 

Too many retarded people  on this site. What a pity!

This actually made me laugh.

Yeah, then it could be said, you are one of them. On Internet you play like this, in the real life you play quite different.

lol.BS.I do whatever i want,real life or internet doesnt matter.I accept rematches when i want to and decline when i don't.Do you think people care when they're added to your blocked list?Ofcourse not,lol.People just laugh at your frustration,the frustration of being denied a rematch which you so hoped for.Accepting a rematch req is not mandatory,just live with it and stop whining because nobody cares about your thoughts on accepting or declining rematches.

You ask, whether someone cares about I say but you have quoted me, so, there is at least one person hehehe.

Frustration? No, I find, it's pathetic to behave on the internet different to the real life. 

Why don't the people say that, who don't offer rematch?

Easy, because they wouldn't play often. ;)

You are just one of the many who whine about people who don't accept or offer rematches,but the truth is your whining won't make a difference because neither the people nor chess.com is going to change for you.You will always be a minority and nobody will take you seriously.People will keep on declining rematches and whether you consider that impolite,pathetic or whatever won't matter.

Here I met some people that still asked for rematch at 6-0 score (in games where they are lost before move 10). I mean, come on...

(3) Lol.

I hereby announce that I am not going to offer any rematch whatsoever. (actually, I do it most of the times, but not always). Please block me if you do not want to play me.

Wanna bet I will still find players that do not share your vision of "manliness" to play against a coward like me ?

I know all chess sites pretty well and chess.com is the toughest concerning the block list, maximum 200 names allowed here. So if bavarol really gonna block all dudes who decline a rematch, he is in troubles after some days

lol, yeah, ok. Im going to inform everyone I play, who likely havn't even considered the idea of a rematch, that I don't do rematches..before the game starts.

Right, that idea is almost as stupid as this topic.

Funny, I sometimes think of a block list as telling the blocked individual, you don't have the power to ignore, you require computer assitance. I do not employ block lists, I know they are there but really laugh and enjoy checking back  (on previously minimized chat window) to see if they are still writing. If you answer or block, you empower them!

Hit and run. Sounds like a good description for a one night stand.

O no, it's no moral law, it's a value, in the way you have been taught. It's called politeness, nothing more.

 

that should apply to everyone. Second, internet chess is bound to be different, because, it's the internet, duh :

You tell me something of childish semantics and you say that? Are you bipolar?

you are playing behind a screen, you don't know the guy, etc. And third, though in real life it is rare to refuse a rematch, it is also rare to ask for one - if you keep asking rematches, the people in the club will know you as the weirdo.

Here I met some people that still asked for rematch at 6-0 score

I f you have read my posts, I didn't say something of n times, so, why do you say me that? 

(in games where they are lost before move 10). I mean, come on...

(3) Lol.

I hereby announce that I am not going to offer any rematch whatsoever.

If you say in advanced it's no problem, then I can decided, whether I want to play or not, so easy, isn't it?

(actually, I do it most of the times, but not always). Please block me if you do not want to play me.

Of course you'll find players to play with, I said, the people like you and the people like me would be separated and perhaps happier

Knd regards ;)

Come on, the definition of a "player" is someone who "hits and runs." Just ask any good looking woman who goes to nightclubs.

Hint to read what someone else writes : try to understand what he says before replying, instead of assuming he is bipolar.

Assuming of course that we put aside the fact in some circumstances people have no choice but to not rematch :

(2) (answered first because it's shorter) : the point is that (some) rematchers are as annoying to me as non-rematchers are annoying to you. Stop posing as if rematching was a moral obligation that some cowards do not apply, this is just not true.

(1) unwarranted ad hominem. My point, which comes just after your answer, was that as the conditions are different from the chess club, the ethics are different. (Purposely) stupid example : OTB it is courteous to set the pieces in place after the game, there is no such obligation online (duh !). More relevant :

-In the chess club, you cannot be picky about your opponents because there are say 10 persons, 2-3 of them of your level. On the internet, you can find whoever you want.

-In the chess club, you (usually) know the person you are playing with. On the internet, no - on that site, even my "friends" ignore my real identity.

-OTB, you have to go to the chess club / tournament at a given date and time, but once you are there you have the guarantee to enjoy your games (no time stallers / no foul language / etc.) ; whereas on the Internet the fixed cost ("investement") of playing is pretty much nothing but the cost of each game ("marginal cost") is higher (risk of not enjoying the games).

etc.

 

I will not be feeding you anymore, sorry Mr. Troll.

You're right. If my soccer game finishes after 90 minutes, I immediately request a rematch. Or a nice weekend playing streetball. Winner stays...not, because I want my rematch!

Who knew chess was different. I can't agree to a single chess match, because of the holy rules of whatever I'm only an honourable man if I accept a rematch. Makes sense. The minimum amount of chess games socially acceptable is...2? If the same player wins both, of course. A tie means a 3rd game is required, right?

If I beat you then I have to offer a re-game - then if you beat me you have to offer me a re-game then----what's the use..If you don't get it- you never will.

Too many words in order to say that you don't behave in front of a chess player like in front of a screen.

I can quietly say, I'm  coherent in my Behaviour, but you don't behave like this with the pretext of Anonymity, hurry, etc (Freedom <- An american friend has posted this like an american patriot of a movie :facepalm:... Friend, of course we all are free but we don't discuss that) cannot say. It's easy COHERENCE, something too big for you.

Should I be a troll? Oh god, :facepalm:

Okay, no rematch then, you lost.  Deal with it.

 

I don't come here to make friends or be a gentleman or have etiquette or try desprately to fit into the idealistic public notion of politeness.  The world doesn't stop turning because you don't get a rematch.  I am not publicly shamed if I don't give you a second chance, and I wouldn't care if I was.  The truth is, I don't care at all about the person on the other side of the board, all I care about is the pieces and the position.

Play the board not the player.

Blunt honesty:

I wouldn't give anyone with a shirtless avatar a rematch :)...I mean...come on.  It's kind of like playing poker with someone that jumps up from the table and starts talking to themselves to psych themselves up after they go all in...it's just annoying showboating, and stems from a rather immature level of insecurity.  What kind of person is impressed by that?  

The notion of feeling wronged when not getting a rematch just smacks of "I don't know you, but I should have beaten you and I feel robbed...so you need to give me another chance to smash you as I rightfully should have".  Not the kind of attitude I give any purchase to in my life.  You lost, move on.  It's not a statement on your personal worth.

Same reason my chat is disabled.  No chance for any chest puffing or sour grapes.  

your probably suck at chess which is what this site is about so to me your input is irrelevant. u dont have alpha male instincts so youll always be soft...everyone wants to be important and give unsolicited irrelevant info and to belittle others shows u are below them, i do the talking on the chessboard that is all... dont talk about it be about it

What are "alpha male instincts" and what on earth do they have to do with online chess?
