Feature request: auto-rematch

I personally like it to play couple of games against the same player, but I don't know a way to find players that want the same thing.
So I would like a feature where a rematch is "mandatory", and if you don't play it, you just loose the points

You can just request for a rematch, if the opponent cannot play and the game started and he loses the points, this is really a bad idea. You can always request for the rematch if your opponent wants it.

Does lichess really have to do so much Code, so u guyz do not have to click 1 button?

Sorry, we aren't going to double lobby wait times by splitting the player pool in half, even if somehow (I can't imagine how) this is easy to code.

Create a team "Better of X games"

This feature would cause severe issues for players who suddenly need to leave for an important event.
It also forces players to play more chess against their own will.

1. Why do I care how much code it is? I am a Software Engineer as well, if you need help let me know ;)
2. Read again my message. It's not about the click, it's about finding players that want to play more than just one game

I'm not saying everybody has to do it, it could be an opt-in or even a game type. In the same way you can create custom games, you could create a '2x' game.
Most players in my crappy rating play one game and they disappear... and that is if they play at all, because tons of them simply never do the first move.

If there's something call auto rematch, your opponent is force to play with you again. This doesn't seems fair, why don't just request and see if your opponent accepts or not, it's your opponent choice.
