Blocked because no rematch • page 1/1 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

I've always found it amusing that people cant stand losing and end up blocking you because you win, and choose to play someone else after that game instead of a rematch. Don't be that type of player :)

Who else feels this way?

I like rematch but not just after the game. I am happy to rematch an opponent few weeks or monts later And look what happened in our pasts games. Sommes guys become your black beast, your rival or your favorit victim with the Time. It humanise our internet games.

Just after the game it is often an emotional thing or someone who wants to farm rating points. It's not the best ground for a good game of chess.

If someone blocked me for such reason, I wouldn't care as I wouldn't see it as my problem. After all, anyone is free to block anyone for whatever reason - or even without any reason. And anyone is free to make a fool out of themselves.

Exactly, it is up to you if you want to do a rematch or not, it shouldn't be simply because the other guy wants a rematch and then blocks you after getting angry.

He messaged me, and then blocked me. I don't really mind the block of course, but its just amusing to see people do this again and again

they don't block you because you won. Even though they aren't, they probably think you to be a coward for not rematching. it comes in time of frustration for them.

Yes this is true, but then again, there are hundreds of thousands of players whom don't accept a rematch after winning. Ultimately, I suppose its just a matter of changing that mindset.
