In releasing this report, Chess.com appears to violate their promise of confidentiality expressed in Exhibit C:
> As we mentioned earlier, we have made no public statements regarding the
reasons for your account closure or our findings, and anything that happens in
this conversation will remain confidential.
But they did at least hide the player identity, so we only know it's a FIDE top 100 nearly-2700 player.
I'm slightly surprised at how easy they make it for a confessed cheater to unban themselves:
> As a titled player, we would like to offer you a chance to re-
establish yourself within the Chess.com community, and because
of that, we have made no public statements regarding the reasons

hours, we may try to work with you privately to have a new
account opened, equipped with a title and Diamond Membership.
- herendin 4y agoEdit: the comment above is apparently about a different, unidentified, player, not Nieman >... Chess.com appears to violate their promise of confidentiality... I think they believe that Nieman bringing his alleged cheating at Chess.com into the public arena, and saying things about it that Chess.com believe are not true, broke the agreeement between them, and gave Chess.com the right to respond
- tromp 4y agoExhibit C is about another unidentified player, not Nieman...
- herendin 4y agoSorry, I didn't read your comment carefully. I also wonder if there's enough information there to identify the players
- tromp 4y agoRedditors are certainly speculating [1] who could be the 4 confessed cheaters in the top 100. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/xvo7u4/comment/ir2elqw/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/xvo7u4/comment/ir2el...
- jsmith45 4y agoIt ought to be quite easy to identify this person. The report says: >This person competed in a single event featuring 10 total games in 2020. They either created a new chess.com account, or totally ceased playing on there around or after July 2020. They were a Top 100 player with almost a 2700 rating. Those facts combined probably narrow the list to extremely few candidates, perhaps only 1. I don't know chess well enough to identify them.
