Chess.com and Carlsen reached a settlement with Niemann, who had sued them and Twitch streamer Hikaru Nakamura for $100 million over what he alleged was a \u201ccivil conspiracy\u201d to defame him. \u201cWe are pleased to report that we have reached an agreement with Hans Niemann to put our differences behind us and move forward together without further litigation,\u201d Chess.com wrote<\/span> in an update on August 28. As a result, Niemann will once again be allowed to compete on the online chess platform, and Carlsen has agreed to play him in the future should they meet in a tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cI acknowledge and understand Chess.com\u2019s report, including its statement that there is no determinative evidence that Niemann cheated in his game against me at the Sinquefield Cup,\u201d Carlsen said in a statement. \u201cI am willing to play Niemann in future events, should we be paired together.\u201d<\/p>\n
