I recently played a guy, he won. HE asked for a rematch, (I suspect thinking I was easy meat). I won. He didn't ask for another game, I didn't offer.

Sometimes it's just 'let's play chess' and there's no exit contract.  It used to be a fun thing when I sat down with a friend to play 24 games or so in school after the examinations are over.  How did it become this?

I sometimes have opponents who play on till mate even when a Q down and when they get mated they make some remark like " you got lucky ! "  Then they angrily rematch me and wonder why I dont agree to another game ? !   Are people really so stupid ?

Not stupid Reb..... Moron's is more appropriate. When I started internet chess I thought I would be dealing with well mannered educated people. It's surpriding how few there are on the site. Rudeness, and illmannered behaviour seems to abound. The Good thing is these people are of no conciquence.

@Oldgilbey, there are a very large number of well-mannered educated people on here.  It's just that the other kind are more memorable.

I only like to play one game a day, usually at the end of the day when I'm already tired.  Then, if I win and rematch, I tend to be overconfident.  If I lose and rematch, I tend to lack sufficient confidence.  Either way, the previous game keeps me from just focusing on the game in front of me.  So that's why I tend not to rematch.

Well, OP, I'm new here. But folks tend to  d i s c o n e c t  immediately. My "Thanks" or "GG" go to waste, let alone REMATCH requests. YMMV, but this might be a contributing factor.

This site should have an algorithm where when someone whines about not being granted rematches that they are automuted. No one is obliged to feed your bruised ego.

DESTROY THE WHINERS!!!!! DESTROY!!!

These people (if we can call them that???) who refuse rematches/runners are just the most cowardly folk around.  And it's even worse. They  leave the room and so you follow them on the site and see they're still logged in and playing someone else!!! So, they wanted to play just not with you? Just not play a rematch in case they lose? So now you're interested in the gutless wimp and getting their IP is a cinch. So this coward is still on the site and still playing and you've got his/her IP and you run it through the cruncher and you find out what city they're in and often it'll also bring up an email addy or some comment they've left in some forum. You follow the trail and learn about their family and where they went on holiday and how drunk they got at their grandmother's funeral. Now they've mentioned 'a brother' and sure enough the coward's brother is only replying to him on the thread and talking about facebook. So, you've got the coward's facebook now and you slip in a friend request. Over the next days you befriend this 'running coward' and you get his address and feed him some crap so as he'll meet up. Meet up? Damn right! And not empty handed either. You turn up with a board and pieces and you're gonna make this P.O.S rematch you whether he likes it or not. And, if it's the freak in the thread who said he plays while "on the toilet"... No problem. Take the game in their if you like. We'll both drop 'em around the ankles and play like that. And if this cowardly little wretch thinks he'll be able to cheat OTB like he did online, well, hell no... You'll be watching him like a hawk and you'll also make it clear that it'll get VERY MESSY if he tries that nonsense here. So, you're in this creeps house, in the toilet, playing your rematch and this idiot blunders within the first 5 moves and you literally check mate him senseless. And as you make the final move you lean across growling and he thinks it over and you just start biting his face ... Like real vicious animal bites. yeah, you take the 'runners' nose off and half his ear and you leave him like that with his pants around his ankles, bloodied and soiled. Now that's how to deal with 'runners'. Case closed. New Game!!!

Your expectations of a rematch are misplaced.

Maybe it's like the Monty Hall problem.

 

Playing a new person gives you greater chance?

Not true.  Not even moderators can see IP addresses; only staff have access to that information.

Avatar of congrandolor

winning on time on the point of being checkmated and then refusing a rematch is one of the greatest things, so take it easy and wait for your chance to do it

They can leave if they want, What if they just want to play one game? Yes there are the ones that do not accepts a rematch but they can do whatever they want.
