For the second year in a row, Signet Bank is supporting the international chess festival “Cēsis”

From June 16 to 21, Cēsis will host the fifth international chess festival “Cēsis,” which will bring together chess players from Latvia and abroad over the course of six days. Signet Bank is a sponsor of the festival, continuing to support initiatives that foster strategic thinking, intellectual growth, and a vibrant community life. The festival will feature nine different tournaments designed for both experienced chess players and newcomers.

In Cēsis, chess will be played both indoors – in the newly built Konrāds Quarterm – and in event tents in Maija Park, where the Signet Bank duel will take place on June 20 and 21 – traditional rapid and blitz tournaments, which have already become one of the festival’s central events.

Chess and investing may seem like very different fields, but in both, the ability to think several steps ahead, assess risks, and make decisions with a long-term perspective is crucial. Chess is also one of my passions, and so it is a special pleasure to see that, year after year, the festival brings together players of different generations and skill levels. By supporting the “Cēsis” Chess Festival, Signet Bank is investing in an initiative that strengthens analytical thinking, discipline, and intellectual growth,

emphasizes Roberts Idelsons, Chairman of the Board of Signet Bank.

The organization of high-level local tournaments plays a crucial role in the development of chess in Latvia. It is a true pleasure that the “Cēsis” Chess Festival has become one such event, offering participants a high-quality and diverse tournament program, as well as the opportunity to meet players at the chess tables not only from Latvia, but also from countries near and far. It is particularly rewarding that Signet Banka recognizes the importance of chess in the development of society and is providing its support to the “Cēsis” Chess Festival,

comments Jānis Vingris, Director of the International “Cēsis” Chess Festival.
