Why is it so rare to pair with player that plays more than 1 game? • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

It is chess tradition to play at least 2 games both sides
But on lichess i found it is hard to find such player while surfing random blitz I never faced such a high rate of mom calls me need to run asap XD while playing on the other platform ( wont name it but biggest one) so what is the reason of such bad sports in here?

There is no such tradition anywhere in online gaming. It exists in real world because it harder to find a new opponent. While takes just pressing next opponent button so why play against same one? Though you are so strong that there is not abundance of opponents but I guess enough to start playing same player over and over.

the tradition is based on the thing that white has advantage of first move and while engines showsit is too small to win human aren't engines and white still having better and more important picking up where the game goes

"It is chess tradition to play at least 2 games both sides" * In a coffee house maybe, not in competitive chess

"what is the reason" * Maybe paranoia about engine assisted revenge, maybe wanting to analyse the game first, fetch a drink, go to the bathroom...

"such bad sports" * That is no bad sports. Nobody ows you a rematch.

This does not affect the players in any way. The Lichess system will in any case give in the medium term (and especially in the long term) approximately the same number of games with white and black. The Lichess system has a memory, a good one.

Most of the players rush immediately to analysis board for reviewing mistakes (including me) after the game. So they miss many 'rematch' offers as they are busy in looking their accuracy , etc..

It is not a bad thing because reviewing your mistakes makes you a better person, if not a better chess player!

because most of us dont want to play two consecutive games against one opponent, and none of us have ever heard of that "tradition" wherever it may be from. appreciate the single game; its enough
