Why not rematch? • page 4/4 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

osdeving8 you are more concerned with the rematch being ruined in the modern day, while you say later that "maybe I don't use all attention during the first game." Bro, if the rematch is a bigger concern to you than your attention span during a chess game, I think you need to evaluate your priorities with this game lol

#22 "camon, rematch is one of the sign of chess."
Rematch simply comes from the times, when chess players were glad, to have found at least one possible opponent. As this problem is solved thanks to internet, there is no sense in rematches anymore.

On the topic of removing the rematch button, I would like to propose that Lichess remove the "Add time" button. Not only is adding time entirely against the rules of chess, it allows a player to perform an unnecessarily aggressive act usually in a clearly winning position. This abuse of the "Add time" feature goes against Lichess' own goal of keeping the server a friendly place where everyone can enjoy and learn.

As a rule, I never add time. I have done it only once so far, but very early in the game when, perhaps because of a lag, my opponent lost about 50 percent of his time between the second and third moves.

But if anyone ever adds time for me, especially in a losing position, I make it a point not to resign. There was a guy who added something like four or five hours to my time when I was clearly lost--but also when I had only about 10 seconds remaining. I had been putting in a sincere effort, but was outplayed. Yet, his action so incensed me that I left the game running and went on with my work. After waiting for about three hours, he resigned!
