We call it rematchosis, bad case. People think they can infect others with their rematch quirk. Probably a psychiatrist can help?

> In my culture

in my culture on the other hand, people just laugh and move on. funny things, those cultures.

Why not? It's a fairplay thing

Why doesn't Lichess encourage chess player to offer rematches, for improving fairplay in this community? This could be an interesting question.

Ok, but it's possible to play a rematch, then come back to that game and analysing all your games as i do, it's so easy.

Mamacita? What the ....? do you know what are you talking about? Anyway, my definition of good player is different. Deal with that. And please, don't offend a player who is trying to know better this world. So far, it seems to be a bad place.

You can't talk to people like that, it's not educate and appropriate.

It's about ...to give a second chance to your opponent. In my culture to offer a "rivincita" means to be a very good player, humble and respectful of the opponent. Thanks for you reply

I usually don't accept rematches in order to avoid cheaters. It can be pretty annoying playing a cheater, and losing, several games in a row, so I just move on to a new game immediately to mitigate that.
