Jennifer Shahade (born December 31 1980) is an American chess player and writer. She is a two time American women's chess champion, and the author of Chess Bitch. In 1998, she became the first (and so far only) female to win the U.S. Junior Open. Then, a few years later, in 2002, she won the U.S. Women's Chess Championship in Seattle, Washington. The following year, although she did not repeat as U.S. Women's Champion, she did well enough to earn her second of three required Women's International Master norms. Then, in 2004, she returned to the top spot among U.S. women chessplayers by winning the U.S. Women's Championship that year in a 7 player invitational round robin. Shahade lives in Brooklyn and has earned a degree in Comparative Literature at New York University. Her writing has appeared in the L.A Times, The New York Times, Chess Life, New In chess, and chessninja.com. Her first book, Chess Bitch: Women in the Ultimate Intellectual Sport (Siles Press) was published in October, 2005.
