Irena Warakomska Association

Stowarzyszenie im. Ireny Warakomskiej is a Suwałki-based chess organizer that keeps the memory of Irena Warakomska alive through tournament work and local chess promotion. The association is closely tied to the chess life of Suwałki. Its official presentation links the organization to Irena Warakomska’s legacy as former chairwoman of Hańcza Suwałki and to the growth of youth chess in the city.

The organizer has built a clear and durable event identity. Its official website already promotes the 10th International Irena Warakomska Memorial for 2026. It also presents a 67,000 PLN prize fund and a multi-group tournament structure. Earlier regulations and event records confirm that the memorial has run for years and remains one of the association’s flagship chess projects in Poland.

The leadership structure is public and easy to follow. The association lists Monika Krupa as president and Artur Warakomski as vice president. It also names Anna Warakomska as tournament director and Tomasz Warakomski as part of the association’s public-facing structure. Official tournament materials repeatedly show Anna Warakomska as the operational contact for the memorial, so she is the strongest main contact person for organizer-profile purposes.
