another chance
Opportunity to retry
Another chance is an additional opportunity to succeed after failing or falling short.
The phrase implies forgiveness or renewal—someone who deserves another chance should not be judged solely by past mistakes.
It often carries emotional weight: Just give me another chance.
In games and competitions, another chance may come through formal rules or someone's generosity.
