En 2002 ganó el Campeonato de Ajedrez Femenil de Estados Unidos en Seattle, en el estado de Washington. En el siguiente campeonato femenil de Estados Unidos obtuvo su segunda norma de Maestro internacional y, en 2004, ganó su segundo campeonato femenil.[7]

Shahade earned a degree in comparative literature at New York University.[8]

Her writing has appeared in the LA Times, The New York Times, Chess Life, New In Chess, and Games Magazine. Her first book, Chess Bitch: Women in the Ultimate Intellectual Sport (Siles Press, ISBN 1-890085-09-X) was published in October 2005.[9]

Shahade is the former web editor-in-chief of the United States Chess Federation website[10]​ and has hosted a monthly chess podcast, Ladies Knight, for the federation.[11]

In 2007, Shahade co-founded a chess non-profit called 9 Queens.[12]

Shahade is also a poker player.[13][14]​ In 2014, she became the MindSports Ambassador for PokerStars.[15]​ On December 9, 2014, Shahade won the first TonyBet Open Face Chinese Poker Live World Championship High Roller Event, taking home €100,000.[16]

Shahade is the host of the poker podcast the GRID, which she produces with her husband Daniel Meirom. In 2019, the GRID won the Global Poker Award for Podcast of the Year.[17]​ She is also a former coach for the training website Run It Once.

This is especially true since I’ve become a de facto confidante for so many women and girls—making it essential for me to have faith in executive decision-making and communication."[21]

Vida personal

[editar]

Shahade está casada con Daniel Meirom. Viven en Filadelfia y tienen un hijo llamado Fabian, quien nació en 2017. En 2019, crearon «Not Particularly Beautiful», una instalación artística que sobreponía insultos misóginos dirigidos a mujeres quienes juegan ajedrez sobre las casillas de un tablero de ajedrez.[18][22]

In February 2023, Shahade accused Alejandro Ramirez of sexually assaulting her twice, and stated that she had heard from other alleged victims. The United States Chess Federation and Saint Louis Chess Club are, a 2023 de February, investigating Ramírez over the alleged sexual misconduct.[23]​ On March 6, Ramírez resigned his affiliation with the Saint Louis Chess Club and the Saint Louis University chess team.[24]​ The following day, The Wall Street Journal published an article corroborating Shahade's claims, finding based on interviews with eight women, that Ramírez had made unwelcome sexual advances towards them since 2011 and that the alleged behavior was an open secret.[19]
