Awesome work by Lichess. It's incredible how much they're doing for chess.

TL;DR These organizations did nothing to protect from sexual misconduct that they knew about.

The other TL;DR is that Timur Gareyev has been accused by two women of sexual misconduct as well – also largely without proper consequences and transparency by US Chess.
