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

I don't accept rematches straight away in long blitz/standard because I analyse the game immediately.

I never rematch if I am climbing.

When I win, I want to enjoy my victory.

When I lose I tilt, I don't want to lose again.

I think rematches are important, but I have learned from experience that on the internet its just a bad feeling to rematch, win or lose.

It can be considered impolite to ask for a second game from someone you have beaten. If they want a rematch, they can offer it. However, it is also unreasonable to believe that someone should always accept rematch requests: it is their right to decline.

Yes, I agree:

I do not like rematches most of the times.

When I win, I want to enjoy my victory.

When I lose I tilt, I don't want to lose again.

Most of times, I just want to take a break to avoid losing the next game due mental tiredness.

I have a thread to analyse lots of my games, with comments and diagrams:

And another thread about a chess movie:

The tiredness answer doesn't apply to many people here because they're playing 25-400 games at once.  They clearly don't want a break.

They just don't want to play you again.

        It's one of half a dozen such topics. I believe people do it to stir up trouble.

My advice: win the first game and stop griping.

I often refuse a rematch if I feel I wasted my opponent's time with the previous game. f they beat me really well, nothing will change in the next game. I know I'm poor at chess, after all.

Why dig up a thread from many years ago? There are way more recent threads where people whine about not getting rematches happy.png
