2002 and 2004 US Womens Champion - WIM Jennifer Shahade - SuperJenium@aol.com

At age 23 Jennifer is the 2002 and 2004 United States womens champion and the strongest American born female player of all time. Jennifer had a major breakthrough in the 2002 US Championship, defeating GM Sagalchik while drawing GM’s Seirawan, Fedorowicz and Kudrin, en route to an IM norm and the most impressive result of her career. She also dazzled, crushing the field in the 2004 US Women's Championship, to capture her second title. Her strong point is attacking and playing with the initiative. Sometimes when the game becomes simple her strength can go down some and she also has some issues with time trouble. Despite all this, people are becoming aware that they shouldn’t let Jennifer attack their king, as when she gets the enemy king in her sights she doesn't pull any punches.
