I do not think this chess player is notable. Her Elo rating is only around 2200 whereas the notability threshold would be more around 2500 at least. She does not have the Grandmaster title, and not even the Woman Grandmaster title. She has not won major chess tournaments.

 * Keep. An easy keep, for appearances representing Latvia in three Women's Chess Olympiads and one European Team Chess Championship. Quale (talk) 14:57, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment — FWIW, I don't think the Chess Olympiad confers automatic notability; at least WP:NOLYMPICS wouldn't apply. Same thing goes for the European Team Chess Championship. While there may be some case for WP:GNG on coverage as far as chess players go, I'm struggling to find sources that would lend to creating a WP:BLP with an encyclopedic level of biographical detail. Listings alone are of limited use. JFHJr (㊟) 21:12, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
