◈Result
The 2002 championship was the first run as a Swiss: 56 players over nine rounds at Seattle, men and women in one field, with Jennifer Shahade the leading woman and so US Women's Champion. All 252 games are archived here in round order. A Swiss has no round-robin cross table, so none is computed; the title itself went to a blitz play-off, which falls outside this archive's classical scope.
