Description

Chess is one of the world most popular games, here in Riga its almost a religion with people playing from ages 5 to 85, its part of the culture and thats why we think you should try it...

You can play for some fun in the pub with local opposition whilst sipping beer and sharing stories. Alternatively we can try organise or "slot" you in official FIDE rated match session in Riga or it's vicinity.

This is Ivo's (T2R Founder) favourite sport, over the past few years he's been trying hard to achieve A-Players Grade among Amateurs.

Travel2Riga supports the Riga Chess Federation and School Chess Club "Kaissa", more on this can be learned in our quarterly newsletters.

Ivo picked up chess several years ago whilst on a family holiday in Budapest, Hungary. Seeing a mature man, half immersed in a pool of those famous Budapest Bath's, sipping beer and zealously playing chess without noticing anyone around, drew his attention. Imagine his surprise when he discovered little by little how interesting and popular the game is and what a rich history of Chess his hometown Riga has.
