Szachowe mistrzostwa Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki Północnej zostały rozegrane w Seattle w dniach 25.09. - 7.10.2000, w konkurencji kobiet i mężczyzn.
Zgodnie z dobrą zasadą kryminału po rozegraniu turniejów mistrzowskich nikt nie mógł powiedzieć, kto jest mistrzem USA. W tej sytuacji Benjamin, Szabałow i Seirawan wśród mężczyzn, oraz Baginskaite i Groberman wśród kobiet rozegrali turniej play-off.
Mistrzami USA na koniec wieku zostali Joel Benjamin i Camilla Baginskaite.
Shabalov,A (2601) - Benjamin,J (2577) [B00]
