ST. LOUIS — A legal dispute arising from allegations of cheating at a major chess tournament played in September 2022 in St. Louis has been resolved, parties to the matter said Monday.
Online chess website Chess.com said Monday that it and Hans Niemann, who has faced allegations of cheating and had filed suit for defamation, have “resolved their differences and are moving forward.” It said the parties have negotiated privately since June and have reached an agreement “to move forward without further litigation.” A news release said the parties involved in the litigation "have their own opinions about the events surrounding the controversy, and they agree they should each be able to talk openly about their views."
