Time to rematch

In my (Italian) culture, offering a "rivincita" to your opponent in case of victory is an act of fairplay.

I hope you too can follow the same sportsmanship.

If you don't have time to offer a rematch, don't even play the first one. Avoid making a bad impression

this one was not enough for you?

in my culture, refraining from reposting is an act of good behaviour on forums.

i hope you too can follow the same principles of good communication.

edit: if you are too self-absorbed to not follow your first topic up with a second one, don't even create the first one. avoid making a bad impression.

We don't all have the same culture. Not everyone likes to be offered a rematch. If two players are of a similar level they will almost certainly be paired again at some point. What's the rush?

Playing on the internet is not the same as playing a board game at home. Sportsmanship involves remaining tolerant. Each country has their ways of playing. There is no right or wrong in wanting or not a rematch. Rematches are no more or less ethical. If it was so important to have a rematch, it would be automated.

Like chess, in life we make errors too. We need to enjoy what we chose to do. If a person is not going to be happy with a rematch, then it's good to refuse. Some are not so happy to play double round robins. They prefer Swiss pairings or Arenas. This year I'm happier playing in the lobby with 5+3 time controls. When playing, play by the rules. There is no rule to force rematches.

I'm analysing my game. No rematch for you.

Chi lo dice ? Mi sembra una affermazione arbitraria. Mi spiace, non condivido. E' al più una prassi da circolo, non una questione di fair play, e non è affatto condivisa universalmente. Ho frequentato un circolo per un po' di tempo, e non ho mai visto nessuno lamentarsi se l'avversario si alzava dal tavolino e se ne andava via senza concedere la rivincita. Naturalmente, dopo aver salutato educatamente. Si gioca se se ne ha tempo e piacere, non per obbligo.

Who says that ? It seems to me a totally arbitrary statement. Sorry, I do not confirm and I disagree. It's only a club habit at most, it has nothing to do with fair play or sportsmanship. And it is by no means universally shared. When I attended a club, in my Italy, no one complained if one left without conceding a rematch. Of course, after politely saying goodbye. Play if you like, not out of obligation )

It's as simple as this: Nobody OWES you a rematch. If they want to play many different opponents during their session, who are you to question that??

Apparently it's what Italians do!

Im not Italian. In my culture, asking for a rematch means that you are a sore loser and cant admit defeat. I dont give rematches to keep their integrity intact.
