Jennifer Shahade resigns from her post as Women’s Program Director of US Chess

Jennifer Shahade herself founded the women’s program in the US Chess Federation, but is now stepping down as its director. In a Facebook post, Shahade cited the way the chess federation reacted – or failed to react – after Shahade accused GM Alejandro Ramirez, who was then working as a coach for the federation, of sexually harassing women and minors as the reason for the decision. | Photo: Jennifer Shahade
