@Cagey You forgot the 90% cases explanation

@laatikko
I would have much to say about it, but I will abstain ... English is not my preferred language for these discussions as well. I can only say that I understand what you say, but I disagree. Sorry to not express the reasons ...

@osdeving8 and everyone.
“To ask the ‘right’ question is far more important than to receive the answer. [ I never do this]
If this was stackexchage, your question would be closed as
it is *opinion based*.
It's not necessary to give a damn what others think in this case. Because it is pointless. So whatever anyone think doesn't matter in the first place.
At the end of the day, chess is just another board game.
Ahhhhh why am i answering. I need a forum disable button.

It is almost never the case that the winning player requests a rematch. It is almost always the case that the losing player does so.
This alone should put all the other "reasons" to rest that have been put forth by other posters.
"I don't do rematches"
"I have a life"
"I'm mentally tired"
I think this is all nonsense, overall.
People win and, if they sense their win was fortuitous, rather than as a result of skill, they run with the points to play someone else that has not sized them up.
They know it. We know it. Everybody knows it.
People try to pretend to be far more noble than they are. Nearly everyone on this site is a savage and a vulture when it comes to these pretend points and that is why they do not rematch.
"HA HA! GOTCHA! And I'm off!"
That's the truth.

All these different ways of interpreting this rematch thing... I refuse most rematches simply because most folks don't have the courtesy to chat at all. If I was playing someone OTB and they were totally silent the whole game, I wouldn't play them again either.
That said, refusing rematches is not a matter of 'respect'. 'Respect' in any form is pretty rare here on the interwebs... we all know that much. I refuse rematches and never think about all the myriad 'reasons' presented here.
You want a rematch? Say hi! Or good luck! (I say that every single game and I would say 95% of the time there is no answer.) Or nice move! Or Hmmm wat do I do now?! Or how bout saying, 'nice game, want another?' Interact a little. It's supposed to be fun.
So quit grinding your teeth about what you imagine your ex-opponent is thinking or his veiled, likely-malicious motivations for not accepting a rematch might be. The problem here is you, not your opponents. Demanding self-defined 'respect' on the interwebs and grinding your teeth if you don't get it?! Ooo-wee you're in for some sleepless nights. Lighten up, have some fun!

Yes, I know, but thanks for reminding me.
Spot on Microraver. Why would I spend another minute on some surly no-life hankering for revenge and whining in forums when they aren't offered it?
@Cagey I see where you got it wrong. Rating points are not currency. I cannot run away with them as I win and lose them at about constant rate. So I could not care less
Also you don't need to win those points back from same person. If you haven't yet notices: rating points are just same regardless from whom you got them

Not resigning in a loosing position is disrespectful. There are weirdos who always plays till the last move. You won't face them often but they do exist.
When your opponent denies resignation make sure to be savage as much as possible. Next time you face him you won't have that kind of problem anymore.
Rematch is a different thing. Don't bother with that one.
