I rematch with people all the time. I literally rematched with someone in my last game just a second ago playing 10/0. Are you the sort who refuses to resign even when you have a hopeless material disadvantage?
- bluGill 8y agoI have won a couple games after being down with a seemingly hopeless material disadvantage. I'm not a grandmaster, and they don't play me (I suppose they might to laugh at a bad player, but that is unlikely). Until you get to the very high levels you should not assume your opponent knows how to convert even an easy endgame.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoAt my low level, in 5/0 (so a reasonably short time control), that gives opponents an opportunity to practice converting their advantage to a win.
- ajfint 8y agoIt is good etiquette to request a resignation in chat? Lichess matches people by rating, so on average, if I blunder my way into a large deficit, my opponent may just as well blunder me out of it.
- Simon_says 8y ago> It is good etiquette to request a resignation in chat? Not a chance. People at lower ratings screw up what should be wins all the time. Your opponent may be hoping for a stalemate or to run out the clock or waiting for you to blunder.
