Tournament Review

The 47th US Chess Championship (Seattle, 5-13 January 2002) was played as a 56-player, 9-round Swiss event in a combined men-and-women field. Jennifer Shahade, as top female finisher, became US Women's Champion.

Larry Christiansen and Nick de Firmian tied for first on 6.5/9 in the main Swiss event. First place was then decided in a separate playoff (stored as usa-2002playoff).

Contemporary Seattle coverage highlighted that this edition merged the traditional championship field with the women's event in one open Swiss structure. Tournament reports from the time also emphasize that the Christiansen-de Firmian title decision required a separate rapid/blitz playoff after the main event finished tied.

Quick notes:

Open Swiss format replaced the classical closed round-robin model.
Christiansen and de Firmian shared first in the Swiss and needed a playoff for the title decision.
Jennifer Shahade finished as top woman and became US Women's Champion.

Coefficients/tiebreak note: the source crosstable does not publish numeric tie-break coefficients for tied score groups. The displayed ordering inside equal-score groups follows the crosstable's start numbering.
