losing by 0.1 doesnt mean that i play poorly cause if u didn't understand my opponent is 0.1 i am 0.0 so i guess i can say the same thing about him.....
Rematching
Sort:
try being the better player winning and because your opponent plays faster u lose to that split of a second and then tell me is bad sport...also don't u play online 1 or 2 day games....so no place for u to talk about time...

The rematch isn't a obligation. Sometimes I accept rematch and others time, no. In many ocassions I acept rematch until one of two has the best result of 3 games (because is 2-0 or 0-2 a third game don't change the global result).
When I don't accept rematchs is for:
- I'm tired.
- best of 3
- I'm waiting for another thing (ok I have a few minutes I go to play one blitz)
etc
totally agree with JM300 most of the times i think that way...

Wrong, I typically carry about 20 online games, though the topic isnt about those.
Anyway, its ok for you to call someone a coward because they don't rematch, but not ok for me to call someone a poor sport for asking for a rematch after a loss. Got ya.
yes because he runs away with a win that could have not happened if my mouse for example was faster...see my point....
No. Probably your opponent would claim his margin of victory would be even bigger if his mouse was faster.
Anway, thinking someone is running away with a win on a site with millions of members and as many matchups as you want is pretty funny. Where are they running away to...their next loss to someone else?
David before you start mocking me u got to understand that it is a figure of speech
and i mean to move quicker on the mousepad in case there is a misunderstanding...
especially for Ubik42 http://www.chess.com/livechess/game?id=498814929
if this ain't luck to get away with the win for a split of a second then i don't know.....and when i asked for a rematch he/she quickly ran away...if the same happened to he/she and asked for a rematch i believe that not giving him/her a rematch is poor sport....

There are lots of reasons why people may not offer rematches:
a) They got tired and need a break
b) They have a call incoming/have to leave
c) They decided to switch to a different time control
d) They need to analyze the game first
e) They didn't like your playing style/manners
f) You rating is too low to play you again
g) They want to play only White/Black.
And so on. Hence, don't be too hard on people not giving a rematch. It's not like each of them is a coward 
yeah you may be right,i know that he could have won with a very easy back rank mate but if only i had just a split of a sec i could have taken a draw....and probably many of the players in here would probably told me that they deserved a rematch and i would give them one because i owe them ....this is what i believe....anyway thanks for the opinion:D
@Natalia_Pogonina: Despite your sensibility, some people will utterly refuse to acknowledge those facts and continue to come down hard on those who decide against a rematch. Still, we hope that many will reconsider and relinquish their austere stance in light of your contribution, owing partly to your respectability and prestige in the chess world.

I played this game where the other player just threw away their pieces until it was just their lone king. I decided to play along and threw away all of my pieces next, except the queen, then boxed their king in the corner. Then I started promoting my pawns and throwing them at the king, sort of like this:
Any ways, playing like a clown aside, they asked for a rematch. Am I a monster for saying no, or is it fine since I wanted a real game?
here of course not but am i a monster when i ask for a rematchafter my opponent got away with a win of litterally a slit of a second?

If you insist on calling opponents who decline rematches cowards, then yes, you are a monster.

I think calling someone a monster means that you're a monster. :-p

h) They feel as though their rating is too high and are worried they might lose points
i) They feel as though your rating is too low and are worried they might lose points
j) They got lucky in previous game and want to "end on a high"
k) They got lucky in previous game and prefer their opponent to stew in their loss
l) They played one game to find out whether you are over-rated and stop if that is not true
m) They really really feel out-matched by you and don't want to just throw away points

I got lucky today, and my opponent made some accusations. I was making a video at the time.

If you ask for a rematch after losing by .1 seconds it means you are a poor sport, and are unable to take a loss gracefully. Someone who asked for a rematch in that case would lose all respect from me.
...but what if they don't mind not being respected by you?
