Tune in to May's Wonder of the Month feature where we meet the iconic WGM Jennifer Shahade. Winning the U.S Junior Open in 1998, she went on to become a 2 time US Women’s Chess Champion, and win a silver medal at the Chess Olympiads. Shahade organizes the US Chess Women’s Girls Club, and hosts the Ladies Knight Chess podcast among her many others feats. But she is a figure beyond the chess board. She is a poker star, whose podcast The Poker Grid won a Global Poker Award for the best Poker Podcast in the world, and she even creates art exploring themes of gender dynamics of both chess and poker. We thank Jennifer Shahade for her endless contributions to the chess community, and for creating such an inclusive and empowering environment for females in chess!!
