The following year, although she did not repeat as U.S. Women's Champion, she did well enough to earn her second of three required International Master norms. In 2004, she returned to the top spot among U.S. women chess players by winning the U.S. Women's Championship that year in a seven-player invitational round-robin tournament. Shahade lives in Philadelphia and has earned a degree in comparative literature at New York University.

Her first book, ''Chess Bitch: Women in the Ultimate Intellectual Sport'' (Siles Press, ISBN 1-890085-09-X) was published in October 2005. In 2006 Shahade was hired by the United States Chess Federation to be the web editor-in-chief of its site. In 2007 Shahade co-founded a chess non-profit called 9 Queens. Shahade is also a poker player. In 2014, she became the MindSports Ambassador for PokerStars. On December 9, 2014, Shahade won the first TonyBet Open Face Chinese Poker Live World Championship High Roller Event taking home €100,000.
