Just under a year ago, the chess world exploded in a cheating scandal: world champion Magnus Carlsen, who some consider the finest to ever play the game, accused opponent Hans Niemann of cheating. Carlsen first implied this and, shortly afterwards, resigned against the same opponent after one move and released a statement saying "I believe that Niemann has cheated more—and more recently—than he has publicly admitted."
Chess.com, the de facto home of the sport online (though FIDE remains the world governing body), then re-ignited the scandal with a report claiming Niemann had cheated in "over 100" online games.
