The report said Chess.com closed Niemann's account in September given his previous acknowledgments of cheating, suspicions about his recent play and concerns about the steep, inconsistent rise in his rank. "I believe that Niemann has cheated more -- and more recently -- than he has publicly admitted," the 31-year-old Norwegian said in a statement posted to Twitter.
Over the board chess is played face to face, rather than online. Carlsen did not provide details about how Niemann may have cheated.
