why do so many reject a second game especially if they loose?

There may be many reasons

1.The player who refuses may be tired of playing many games with others already.

2.Lack of confidene to win.

3.Scared of playing again. etc,etc.

        There are no spelling errors - only the grammatical error that "fed up of" should be fed up with".

What's porn?

You do not want to know its bad

I think I may be guilty of this.  Often, one game is enough for me, win or lose.  I hadn't thought about the fact that it may be considered rude to not accept a rematch after winning when playing white - I will be more aware of this in future.

It isn't rude, stop listening to these whiny babies.  

It isn't good chess ethics to believe that an opponent is obligated to accept a rematch request.

In addition, it is most often a beginner or a sore-loser who gets demanding about it.

Because of these things, I never ask for a rematch. At least not immediately. I would suggest that the person who wants a rematch not do so right after a loss (yes...it is most often the loser who's pride is wounded).

Wait a week or two. Then ask for a game. Just hit the challenge button. And take the "rematch" word out of it. Too often that word connotates a revenge or grudge match.

Saying these things, I have a few friends with whom (win or lose) we set the board up for another game, instantly. This is because we are friends and have no malice or bruised egos in mind.

Maybe it's the time for their bath!

win or lose, i usually don't play back to back to back games. for blitz, i normally play a game, then review, then if i feel like it, i play another game. for bullet, there is usually no review; i play a streak of games only if i feel like it. i dont give a damn about somebody demanding a rematch. i don't get why some people feel that their opponents will have to respond to their demands. There are never any shortage of players on their servers, go and play whaoever you like, just don't bitch about other people "rejecting" rematches.

Bad connection maybe?

how can we help?

Anger management perhaps?

many times i have other things to do and do not have time for a rematch.i do not want to be rude but hey there are other things in life besides chess so get over it

Agree. I played with an opponent that kept sending weird notes during the game. After I won the game, he sent me a challenge. I didn't like his notes, so I declined his challenge. I immediately got several very abusive messages from him and subsequently blocked him. As chessmicky said, all the person had to do was look at his own behavior and he would have known why I didn't want to play him again.

BECAUSE they are unhappy that they lost the game

and they have a big ego and it got crushed from playing chess

that is why paul morphy stopped playing chess

i like to beat my opponents and then i also say "Thanks. that was fun."

so that way they don't feel bad.

sometimes after beating an opponent, I might say "Thanks. I hope you enjoyed the free chess lesson."

that way they don't feel too bad because i am thanking them for the game and also i gave them a free opportunity to learn and get better at chess.  in the end it is a win-win situation for everyone

i have never wondered why i don't have any friends

because i do have friends

if you are referring to virtual friends on a chess.com website

then i don't need those. i would rather have real friends that i have met in real life and not in Internet life

Pure speculation but:

1). It could be that they don't want to lose two games in a row

2). Why would someone challenge someone to a new game after they had just beaten them?

I'm really hoping someone has a different answer than that the challenger is merely cynically seeking what they think will be an easy win!  

Well, if you want another game there are two buttons to hit in basically the same place so you gotta hit one or the other.  Hitting 'New' gets you paired up quickly usually, hitting rematch you have to wait for your opponent to accept or not.  Personally I prefer the option that doesn't require a response!
