How do you call such players ?

Very often see such situation. You play with opponent many games in a row. You lose twice or 3 times. Then you manage to adopt to opponent style and finally win. And right after opponent's lose, he does not accept rematch/next game anymore and goes away.

Why you do like that ?
Have seen that with high rated playres, well organized and with good basis. Why you run after first lose ?

Because they no longer feel like playing, which is as valid a reason as any?

I know this very well. I've an explanation: It's very easy to get a high rating with this.
Once you lose against an opponent, you don't play a second game against him. As long as you win against an opponent, you try to get rematches without end.
It's not fair, but it's very logic.

@Dingdongdilli Sorry, this is nonsense. The chance of winning against a certain opponent is rather independant of the results of the previous games against him.
But maybe some people think this way they easily could get a very high rating.

This opponent probably analyses his lost game before playing on, that is good practice.

Players just want to farm rating, and when they do not see you as an easy win they will not continue.

@MadNutella It's impossible to farm rating this way. It might make more sense to play with very strong players until you win, because that's at no risk.

So tell me, @drumteatr , when has your opponent the permission to leave ?
Is the match supposed to last forever or until YOU are happy ?
