Hi! I'm Irene Kharisma Sukandar. I'm Indonesia’s first Woman Grandmaster and female International Master. I have represented Indonesia at five chess olympiads, winning a silver medal for my debut performance when I was just 12 years old at the 2004 Olympiad, Calvia. I also became Asian Champion in 2012 and 2014, which led to my qualification and participation in the Women’s World Championships. In 2013, I won two individual gold medals for my performances in rapid and blitz chess at the South East Asian Games, the most prestigious multi-sports event in South East Asia. I am fortunate and grateful to Forbes for recognising my achievements, naming me as one of Indonesia’s 10 Inspiring Women in 2016 and in the 30 Under 30 in 2019.
On a personal front, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Gunadarma University, Jakarta, Indonesia and a Master of Arts in International Relations from Webster University, St. Louis, USA.
It took me a long time to challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone as I'm generally an introvert, perhaps like many chess players out there. However it's heartwarming to see many friends and fans keep encouraging me to show more of my chess through streaming, so I thought I'd give it a try. I hope my stream will be as entertaining and educational as possible, so sit back and enjoy! :)
