Irene Kharisma Sukandar (born April 7, 1992) is an Indonesian chess player and a two-time Asian Women's Champion. She is the first Indonesian woman to attain both the Woman Grandmaster (WGM) and International Master (IM) titles. A graduate of Gunadarma University, she also won two gold medals at the 2013 SEA Games.
Tomorrow, all girls and women who wish to play against Irene have the chance to meet her in a simultaneous exhibition at Erkebispegården!
The weather will determine whether the exhibition takes place indoors or outdoors.
You are warmly welcome!
The titled player from Indonesia would have been one of the favorites in the main tournament if she had participated, but instead, she is providing live commentary and streaming all the games from the tournament on Lichess.org.
