instead of making this why not you go ask them?

I seldom decline rematches but not that many players request them.

Yes, you can do it that way, or.... It's about your choice, of course, but offering a rematch (a second chance to your opponent) can be considered a good thing, a fair thing, ...don't you think?

Just a question, please, tell me why there's a button for rematch if the majority of chess players hate to rematch, as i can see here?

There's a button, ...use it.

Peace out.

Sometimes i did it, but i needed a little more from you, but many of you, they don't know how to talk properly in a community, so ...that's difficult to me to have some "good" reply. Severe but correct.

Oh, sei italiano? non lo sapevo.

A little tiny revenge = una piccola vendetta piccola

Ehmm, ...not really the right translation for "rivincita"

They don't rematch because deep down they don't believe in themselves. They are ruled by fear that if they played you again they would lose. If they were a similar rating to you, which is usually the case in online chess games, their happening to win one doesn't prove they are a better player then you, as far as equal ratings are concerned it's more a toss of the coin who would win or lose any particular game. But they want to delude themselves with the false premise that because they beat you this one time they are smarter than you or even that they are superior to you as a human being. It's sad that these little minded people are so much a slave to their own petty fears and ego trips that they pass on what might be a fun rivalry. All's you can do is give them their little cookie for winning one time and hope you'll be matched against a more emotionally mature person in the next game. Feel sorry for them really because they will go on with their one game human relationships and you will go on to meet someone who you can have some real human interaction with.

I play at most one game a day, then I download it and analyse it. If I lose I don't request a rematch and if I win I don't accept a rematch. One game a day!

Why do some believe they have the right to decide what other people should do?

Pointing out what a behavior is immature or petty is not the same thing at all as suggesting that people be forced to accept rematches. Nice straw man argument there.

Considered a good thing by some, but the limit has to be that I should be able to choose not to rematch without criticism. The choice is mine. Conversation ends if I decline the offer of a rematch.

You cannot judge whether the majority of players hate to rematch from this forum thread.

The rematch button should have a toggle like the ones that allow take-backs and to add time to the opponent's clock. I should be able to disable it in settings. All this grief would end.
