I do not think this chess player is notable. He does not seem to hold the FIDE grandmaster title, and he has not won a national championship. SyG (talk) 17:10, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

This article is related to the article "Latvian Chess Championship", the chess player associated with the victory of Latvian chess championship or additional match for champion title. Please leave this article, because otherwise the article "Latvian Chess Championship" will be a link without the article. Jānis Daudzvārdis is played additional match for Latvian champion title.--Uldis s (talk) 08:48, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

 Additional match for Latvian championship is the major professional competition. E.g., GM Shirov or GM Shabalov not won in Latvian Chess Championship or not played in additional match for the title.--Uldis s (talk) 08:52, 16 January 2012 (UTC) 
 * Delete - he has not participated in a 'major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level' so doesn't meet WP:NSPORT. Sionk (talk) 17:02, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - The article makes only modest claims to his notability. Our normal yardstick is GM or IM with a notable sideline. National champion status would also be worth considering, but he falls short on this count too. Brittle heaven (talk) 09:49, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete The guy has not won ANY international titles.  He is not even a FIDE Master, let alone an International Master.  And as noted, he would have to be at least a GM to make it in by that alone.  Also, Daudzvardis never did well in the actual Latvian Championships; he finished well in the Latvian OPEN in 1992, but that's completely different.  I've seen this confusion on a few pages and recently edited on Daudzvardis's page.ChessPlayerLev (talk) 19:47, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
