Silesian Chess Association is a regional chess federation based in Katowice, Poland. Founded in 1924, it has shaped organized chess in the Silesian Voivodeship for more than a century. The association coordinates clubs, supports competition, and promotes chess across one of Poland’s strongest chess regions.

The federation runs a broad sports and organizer structure. It manages regional leagues, championships, youth systems, and FIDE-rated events during the year. It also stands behind major projects such as the Ustroń chess festival and has taken on large international responsibilities, including top-level championship organization in Katowice. This gives the association both strong administrative weight and a visible public event profile.

Its current leadership is clearly defined. Michał Paździora serves as president for the 2025–2029 term and stands at the center of the federation’s organizer-facing communication. The wider board structure also includes dedicated roles for sport, youth, communication, treasury, and organizational matters. That makes Michał Paździora the strongest main contact person for this organizer profile.
