@CalmLeGurl requested a match and got whooped as well.... rejected my rematch request as expected.

Why request a match then?

This post comes from someone with no pfp and who just joined the site two weeks ago. And now decides rematches are the hill he wants to die on? It's the Chewbacca Defense; it just makes no sense.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.

No I will not say that. You are rated way lower than me, so it's expected for you to be scared to play me in a 2nd game.

Trust me I understand and I don't view that as a coward move.... if we were at a similar rating, then yes I would call you a coward

The role of rematches

Rematches can be extremely valuable. They give you a chance to see how you improve over time and test your skills against the same opponents. If you keep declining rematches, you’re missing out on some important learning opportunities. Plus, if you only want to play rematches when you feel confident, you might end up in a bubble where you’re only facing players you can beat.

It leads to inflated ratings. How?

Avoiding losses: By saying no to rematches, you’re avoiding the risk of losing. Sure, it feels great to rack up wins, but those victories might not reflect your actual skill level.

False sense of skill: An inflated rating can trick you into thinking you’re better than you are. This can lead to some serious underestimating of your opponents in future matches and might hinder your strategy development.

What’s the big deal?

Misleading reputation: In the chess world, your rating is often what people see first. An inflated rating can give a misleading impression of your abilities, leading to mismatched games (that's why you sometimes people lose to a player 600elo lower, then cry about how they must have cheated)

The common excuses:

'I analyze all of my games after' ... Even bullet players I see use this excuse. Very funny

'I only have time for 1 game' ... Yeah yeah, we can see on your account you played multiple games after

'I like to always play a new opponent each game' .... Well this post is directly aimed at you.

'I only rematch if the game was close' ... Poor excuse as majority of your games should be close in your rating range

Everyone who always decline rematches are very timid at heart.... but I strongly suggest that you get out of your comfort zone and start facing your fears.

To the cowards in all rating range .... from 200 to 2700+

I bet that if you decide to respond to this post, you'll attack me instead of addressing the valuable points I made.

I agree with you that verbal attacks get no one anywhere, so I'm going to explain why I disagree with you using your bullet points.

1. I agree it feels great to rack up wins, but you're missing a key element of that when someone doesn't rematch they aren't removing any risk of losing, the next person could still beat them. They are removing the risk of losing to the same person, which using one of your following points, should be within the same skill range since they're around the same elo.

2. Your next point says an inflated rating is bad and I agree, since you should be getting smashed every game no matter who it is if it's inflated. But not accepting rematches doesn't inflate your rating in any way.

3. Your third point confuses me, I know that there's some huge egos in chess but there's still no rating inflation... and an inflated ego is a personality problem not a skill problem.

4. I agree those are all common reasons to not accept a rematch, and sure some of them are less legitimate than others. But they have a right to deny rematches for whatever reason and it doesn't make them any less of a sport especially when they deny a rematch to everyone. It should also be pointed out that those who demand a rematch usually have a reason for it to that many consider being absurd, the road goes both ways.

Chessian-Ian

I don't think that people in my skill level (very low ELO) know how to rematch but I agree exactly with your point but I could say that victory is victory but why not test your skill again against the same player (they are still really close ELO anyway) it's just playing the same ELO and same personality
