Fr half of these reasons just sound like lame and stupid excuses for people who made mistakes and got away with them so they dont wanna excuse, and im pretty sure thats the case

I just find it boring to play the same player 2 times in a row win or lose

I’ve known people to cheat in the rematch, when they lost the original games. Just sayin”

I mean I would wager that people naturally do want to win so Crabby_Lion, your findings are not really surprising

it would not be possible to extrapolate that people simply do so to save their egos, though.

People want to win for sure but it sure seems like they are more interested in stat padding than anything else. Stat padding, to me, boosts one's self worth which correlates to ego, although people tend to conflate ego as false self worth.

I'm sure that those people exist, but usually I find that more often than not they're just here to play chess. Besides, people who tend to do stat padding tend not to be good at chess anyways.

I always give rematches because I blunder. when I blunder and lose the game, then my rematch gets denied, I can't help but feel like I got cheated out of a loss. I always accept rematches, because, if they want a redemption, they can have a redemption. there is no psychology to be had here about how I am traumatized, or whatever yabasta11 is saying.

I don’t do a rematch win or lose.
Uh oh. Another ill thought-out theory has just bought the farm!

a quick ten second scan of your recent matches and I already see a rematch...

I have the impression that people ask for rematches if they lose and want to get even. I rarely accept them, unless it was an interesting, enjoyable and well-played game on both sides.

I never rematch people who play the London or otherwise show that they hate chess. Sometimes I even get rematch requests by Englund-players after they failed miserable with their traps. In that case I not only decline, but also block them.

what is wrong with Englund? it is a gambit like any other, if you know how to play against it, then jokes on the player, but if you don't then that's just how gambits go.

I would certainly rematch if there was something to prove, which there isn't.
