This site has a bunch of members that don't rematch.
Sort:
Which was more along my point. But accusing people of being cowards was a bit hostile. 😑

The sad thing is even if you did that, there would be one person who would take it seriously.
@JC816: This world we were born into is a harsh, cruel place, and despite what you may have heard, all men are not created equal, but fortunately there is something you can do to forever stay the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, the struggle to find minimum wage employment, the rejection by women and the loss of chess games. Gravity is your best friend, its acceleration constant at the Earth's surface is 32 feet per second squared, and you just need to find the right place adequate for it to work its loving magic, so that you can find the peace and joy I pray for you.
I know I've said it before, but still I struggle to understand what bravery/cowardy has to do with a board game, especially played in the net.
You may have a point! Now I remember, it's all about fear of being castrated.
hmm
That would be quite a trick to do over the internet.
I think you are being narcissistic about it. A game is a game. You can control what you do, but trying to control what the rest of the world does, or what other people do, is not usually a realistic goal.
See if you can start from axioms and make a truly logical proof why rematching should even be a thing.

I'm confused about who's afraid of castration. The person declining a rematch, the person getting mad at them, or both?
you gotta be kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd block you so we would never play but since I only queue -/+ 100 there wouldn't be any point. Maybe if you spent less time and energy on this you wouldn't be stuck with a beginner rating after 5000 games. You don't own a complete stranger's time just because they played against you once. There are a thousand reasons not to accept a rematch, each one of them is good enough.

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.

I'll rematch if you lost, if you won and want to rematch me, and the game was very one sided, it is only for points, so I won't.
Maybe, believe it or not, they have something else to do? During that last game someone rang them up to talk to them. Maybe they said "oh. Wait a minute I'm playing a game" and don't want to keep their caller for ages?
Maybe their limiting their games each day?
Maybe they didn't enjoy the game?
Maybe they had already started a new match?
Why should they have to rematch?

--- Also the person might be getting on a bit and need to make a run to the bathroom ( I'm quite used to that situation lol ).
OP has a point: There should be a “match” option where you can play people multiple times...for instance, as if you were in a championship match (first to 6 points) or in the original Karpov-Kasparov style (until a third party intervenes and terminates it).
You gotta be kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, whether they have real reason or not, they - including me but I always oblige to their demand - are entitled to decline or accept a rematch. Nobody should be forced to accept a rematch.

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
