Rematch Crybabies

@jay_00: Give it up, man. I've been yanking your chain but now I'm going try to talk some sense into you. Obviously it bothers you a great deal that some opponents decline or ignore your rematch requests. You've created two forum threads to rant about them. You should ask yourself why it bothers you so much that some anonymous opponent fails to give you a rematch. I suspect the reason is you take a loss personally and feel the need to get revenge. Playing another opponent won't satisfy that need. You act like your opponent walked up behind you, sucker punched you and then ran away. You're not thinking rationally. You believe the guy declines to play a second game because he's afraid of you. What's so scary about you? Presumably he gets paired against opponents in a certain rating range and you're one of many in that range. Why would he fear playing you again — especially if he just beat you? He's not afraid of you. He doesn't give a damn about you. While you're stewing about that ego-crushing defeat, he's forgotten about you.

I used to routinely accept rematch requests. Sometimes during a game, I would check my opponent's profile. I was astonished how many profiles included comments by angry opponents who were denied rematches. They used the same terms you use: coward, runner, etc. Then I started noticing some of the countless rematch threads created by sore losers to vent about being denied their constitutional right to a rematch. That's when I stopped accepting rematches.

Some opponents are not willing or able to play a second game. You just have to accept that. If you can't handle rejection, then stop setting yourself up for it. Stop requesting rematches. If you lose a game, put in another seek and forget about that opponent. He didn't take anything from you; he just won the game.

FBloggs and others are wasting a lot of time with long winded arguments that are obvious on a point that is correct and needs no explanation.  For some people there is no hope.  Jay_00 is one of those people.  It is silly to think you will change the minds of people like Jay_00.  

Personally, I find it is a pleasant thought that people with such a screwed up attitude can be so easily tweaked.  If I ever upset anyone that I have declined a rematch, then I'm happy I upset them!  

GEEZ....ya'll are taking this chess game way too seriously. 

Even when I pick a pocket and fail, I still laugh about it.

TRANQUILA!!!

Now ill talk some sense into you since your logic is clearly flawed. Number 1, a total of 2 (TWO!! lol) threads in 8 years isnt anger, its stating the facts. Meanwhile you stalk these forums and post probably 20 times a week about rematch complainers. Its so ironic that you call others whiners, but you complain much more than they do. Heck, from the look of some of the early comments youve built a reputation on complaining about others on these threads. Youve basically built a rep as a complainer. How are you gonna compare me, a person who has only posted 2 threads about this topic in 8 years, to a guy like you who is known as basically the chess.com forum complainer? Really? This literally makes no sense.

Explain to me how im easily tweaked? Ive been on this site 8 years and wrote only 2 threads about this ever.

You know whats hilarious tho? Looking at both you and FBloggs recent matches shows you only have had rematches after losses lmao. So when you win, there are no rematches to protect your ego. BUT when you lose, thats when you want your rematch. AHHH boy, the receipts dont lie!! lol my work is done here, yall continue complaining about complainers, i got a life to actually live unlike you guys that live on these forums

By saying no to you when you want a rematch, that's how.  

I rarely play rematches, and don't think I was ever the one who asked for one.  Recently a guy beat me 3 times in row, he kept requesting rematches and I accepted because all the games were exciting and enjoyable games.  He played recklessly, and I thought I could take advantage of that, but ended up blundering each time.  I turned down his 4th request.  Hopefully he wasn't too upset about that 

But the lesson I learned is that it makes more sense to request a rematch after you WIN, not after you lose.  That's a good way of increasing the odds that you will improve your rating, if you are concerned about that.  

So, whatever you think is going through my head, you are wrong.  If you saw that I played rematches after a loss, it was because the other guy wanted it, not me.  

You are starting to build a reputation as the hysterical crybaby. Calm down, mate. You are taking this way too personally.

In general, I find other people on Chess.com really irritating.

You should watch this movie....

Richard if having other people on the site irritates you, just play the computer.

So jay_00, what's you excuse for asking a rematch?

Isn’t it possible that the victor would decline a rematch request from the person he beat, because he’s thinking; “Rematch? No thanks. I’ve beaten you once already. You were rubbish at the game and I want a challenge. I’ll look for somebody else to play”?

I'll put it out there plain and simple:
I'm not taking the chance of losing my hard earned points back to them. I don't know them, so I'm not really bothered how they feel. I enjoy imagining how my opponents must be writhing with indignation at being denied their god given right to a rematch. 

Thank you and have a nice day.

hello!😺
