Terms were not disclosed, but, in the parlance of chess, all of the parties appear to have called it a draw, meaning there were no winners or losers.

In the statement announcing the settlement, Chess.com said it was rescinding its ban of Niemann and allowing him to participate in all activities on its site, including tournaments with cash prizes that can be hundreds of thousands of dollars. Chess.com said it stood by the findings of its report about Niemann from last year.

In the announcement of the settlement, Carlsen acknowledged that there was no determinative evidence that Niemann cheated in his game against me at the Sinquefield Cup. He added, I am willing to play Niemann in future events.
