Here is another example of using the word 'incredibly' in an inappropriate context: 'Yesterday Joe stubbed his toe. He is incredibly lucky to have survived.'
Haha yeah it was a bit exaggerated. How about just rude?

Maybe there's something about the nuances of the word "rematch" that makes it seem odd for the winner to request one. That, and the fact that a lack of social contact with your opponent and a competitive environment can make you assume the worst in people's intents.
Don't read too much into a rematch request. If you were sitting across the table from a friend and after the game they said "How about another game?", you probably wouldn't consider it rude regardless who had won the game.

It's actually similar to a winning gambler offer a loser double-or-nothing.
It's a chance to even the score, though I haven't done a rematch - are colors automatically switched?
If the loser is guaranteed White in the rematch, it's definitely not rude unless the winner of the first game has a huge edge in rating.
If the loser offers a rematch, I don't think there's any way to interpret that as rude. But if the winner does, i usually get the implication that they think you're bad so they can get easy points off you. The only exception is when it was a really close game.
Oh now I see what you were saying. Idk man. Depends on how bad they beat you in the previous game

Seems to me that it is often the other way around. Offering a rematch when you win seems like good form, good sportsmanship - like "OK, maybe you didn't play your best, maybe there was one questionable move, maybe I was just lucky and you are better than that game showed, would you like another chance?" On the other hand, asking for a rematch after one loses seems a bit like - "I don't accept that result, you got away with one, I want a do-over since I did badly" etc.
Witney
I guess it's open to interpretation but I tend to believe that most people don't go straight to being sympathetic after winning. And the "I don't accept the result" would only be from that small minority of ppl who are in complete denial. And I don't see anything rude about "I want a do over b/c I did so badly"

Why dont you review the other 492,350,657,091,312,943,832,478,057,453,242,183,041 posts on this subject to see what people think, instead of starting post #492,350,657,091,312,943,832,478,057,453,242,183,042
I think it is cheap
They assume u r on tilt mode and pray for easy points. Sometimes it could be a legit request, but most of the times the intentions aren't good and gentleman like

Incredibly quick to jump to conclusions.. I always click rematch after the first game, win or lose, in speed chess.
Things people have survived:
The holocaust.
Plane crashes.
Tornado's.
House fires.
Not rematching.
