During the Sinquefield Cup in September 2022, Carlsen accused Hans Niemann, an American chess grandmaster, of cheating. Carlsen dropped out of the tournament, after he lost in their third-round matchup. Carlsen later resigned in their next online tournament, making it the most serious cheating scandal in the history of chess. In an interview after the fifth round of the Sinquefield Cup, Niemann clarified that although he resorted to cheating in online chess in the past, he didn't cheat in the game with Carlsen or in any over-the-board game; however, Carlsen stuck with the cheating accusations against Niemann and expressed his desire not to play chess with Niemann in the future. On 20 October 2022, Niemann filed a lawsuit for defamation and unlawful collusion against Carlsen, his company Play Magnus Group, Chess.com, Chess.com Chief Chess Officer Daniel Rensch, and grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura; however, the lawsuit was dismissed on 27 June 2023. On 28 August 2023, Chess.com announced that the lawsuit had been settled, and Carlsen showed indication that he would not have any issue playing against Niemann if they would be paired.
