Rematch Anger

Sort:
nimzomalaysian

Why do people ask for a rematch immediately after winning a game? I thought it was good manners to ask for rematch, so I offered rematch immediately after checkmating my opponent, but my opponent insulted me with bad words. What did I do wrong?

I think what goes on in your opponent's mind is "now that he has beaten me, he wants to keep winning by beating me again and again".

I usually do not rematch no matter whether i lose or win and about good manners I don't think it has anything to do with playing. Just the usual game etiquettes are enough. In fact even if you don't chat it's totally fine.

You beat him of course. Maybe the rematch offer made it worse, maybe it didn't. I don't have a degree in crazy chess player psychology so I won't speculate too much. Most people are just bad losers.

Strongly dephend on how was the game. If you did it on most humalating way like for example he was winning, but then you played crappy moves and you got lucky and he is higher rated than you etc ofcourse he will be angry, specially if there was "blood".

It's always OK to offer a rematch.

It's always OK to decline a rematch.

It's never OK to insult your opponent.

There is no such thing as bad luck in chess. There are good moves and bad moves. Some people can not take responsibility for their own mistakes. They tend to get cranky about losing. I'll usually accept a rematch unless I don't have time. If they get bitchy remember that if you get paired up again in the future.

But it's true that there are many people that beats you, sometimes after a big blunder of you, or whatever the way it was, and fastly offer you a rematch. And then you beat them, so they don't offer rematch and decline a rematch offer by you. And not only one or two, many, many I played.

What is that? They thought they could win more easy points and then they are like cowards?

It's not insulting but ....

I'm not saying this is the case but there are people for everything.

Don't make assumptions about people's intentions, unless they tell you that was their intentions. Sometimes a person may be out of time and can't play more. Sometimes they see their mistakes and want to analyze the games. Sometimes they are pricks.

Don't take everything so personally. It doesn't rain just to ruin your day. And sometimes a rematch is just a rematch.

That's what I said, there are people for everything. And of course they don't ruin my day. Chess is only a game. I only play to enjoy.

But the fact, and that's what I whant to remark, is that in my experience, many, repeat, many people (but not everyone) offer rematch when win and then run when lose. I don't mind, but it's a fact. And don't think everyone want to analize their games. You can see that inmediatly are playing another game with another guy.

But I'm talking of blitz chess, I can see you only play online.

Greetings.

You were playing on the internet where anonymity makes too many people think they can impress others with bad manners.

Chess is one of the games were you can make very, very accurate assumption about the other side, specially in blitz. You can tell exacly what he was thinking, is he nerveous, is he angry, is he a patzer or lucky etc. Everything is very personal in bullet and blitz. People get very mad and angry at you very easy. One move and you can start swear left and right. Ofcourse there are exception for example one side does not care much and he is playing while listenin to music or other things he do while playing.

And ofcourse there is luck in chess - at online bullet or blitz specially. Mouse slips, bad internet while you have 5 seconds and 1 move to checkmate , you saw his intention but you got distracted by something etc. phone .. cat..

Not this topic again...

Look, it doesn't matter what you do or where you do it, someone somewhere will take offense. Just ask for a rematch if you want one, and mute the chat if you keep getting insulted.

I go over every game I play with an engine. Sometimes, I have to look up other related games or something on the internet. So, if it wasn't an easy win I usually spend 15-30 minutes before playing my next game. If there was something really important besides a missed fork, pin or mate in 2 type of thing I might do something else for a while to let it sink in for the future.

 

A rematch isn't the issue, it's when the rematch would be played. If you play on the same server there is a good chance you will be paired up again if you both play regularly. Better to rematch then.

But, but you haven't played a single game here.

as kasparov once said chess is a mental torture,your opponent mentality was bad so that he thought that your rematch offer was your intention to torture him again as he felt he would lose again in rematch

Yeah! People who offer rematches are sadists who should be locked up in prison.

There seems to be a belief that people only play chess, and even online chess at chess.com. I wonder why so many people think that?

Just learn to accept a few facts about the internet:

1. People act differently online, than how they would in person.

2. Only online is asking/offering/accepting/declining a rematch considered "rude"

3. Only online is typing "good game" considered 'rude"

Once you understand the power of annonymity, youll start you understand why some act the way they do.
