Has anybody ever had the experience where a lower rated player gets a freak win against you (which is fair enough, even if an unexpected result) but then runs off and refuses to play again.

It probably happens on blitz sites more but I am sure there will be others with a similar story of it happening in correspondence.

I have even had it happen during freindly blitz games in my club, where the guy stayed there the rest of the night without an opponent because he didnt like playing the lower rated players and had got his one win.

You can't force them to play. They're savoring it and protecting their ego. Just let them be and enjoy their win.

Of course that is the correct procedure, it's just I sometimes find it very hard to do when the "how did you ever get to your rating level" etc. comments come out, then they run away. It's hard to be good loser when the winner is making a prick of himself, I know that's a failing in me, but at the time it's annoying. Although 10 mins later of course it's quite funny musing over the fact that he/she won on your blunder yet thinks they have performed exceptionally well.

You don't need to prove yourself to them.

But players like that should always be contained and beaten as often as possible, it is the only way to drive that cocky streak out of them.

it's probably just as annoying as when the higher rated player insists on playing another game just because he lost before. the two sides of the same coin.

In Playchess I have played with jerks who run away after first win - they are in my ignore list now.

I don't have that "Let me have a rematch immediately" feeling when losing a game in correspondence or in blitz site.
But I do recall feeling that way when playing short friendly games in the club. If I lost there, I always got pissed if opponent didn't want to play another one!

So they're pricks and they're pussies?

Please, can't we just choose one gender's genitalia for these insults and stick with it? 🙂

What you do is:

1. Leave the site;

2. Log in again under a new handle;

3. Sandbag your rating till it's at 700;

4. Find the dirtbag;

5. Slaughter him and then ask him how he got his rating;

6. Then masturbate (optional).
