Leaderas, please choose your words carefully. If you don't like something, just say it or stay silent.
My assumption was that a game/victory with a rematch no longer holds any value. That's it.

You asked, and I answered.

If a victory doesn't hold value with a rematch, then what's the problem?

It's like wanting to win, get points, and in case of a loss, claim a draw, and then add a mile-long post to the rules to justify all of this. It reminds me of a saying.

Introduce a rule allowing a rematch at the request of any player, but with a penalty of 0.5 victory points. I.e., if someone wins by taking 2 rematches, it's a draw.

But what if the opponent takes 1 rematch and wins?

Personally, if I have to play against an opponent who asks for a rematch and I don't want to give it to them, I don't need any rules; I won't give them the rematch.

Also, limit the number of rematches - say, 1 per week.

A masterpiece. Does the opponent have the right to ask for a rematch every week? And will this be "legalized" by the rules?

Yes. This will no longer be a game; it will be something else entirely! And all because someone didn't have the willpower to say, "No, I won't give you a rematch." If they lost, they lost.

Or, I'll give them a rematch, we can finish the game for fun, but you can't claim victory anymore.
