In the late 1990s and early 2000s Linda Krūmiņa was one of the leading young chess players in Latvia. In 1999 she won the Latvian Girl Chess Championship. She regularly participated of the European Youth Chess Championships (2001 - U20, 2002 - U18) and World Youth Chess Championships in different age groups (1995 - U12, 1997, 1998 - U14)[1][2][3]. In the early 2000s, she also regularly participated in finals of the Latvian Women Chess Championships.

From 2005 to 2015, Linda Krūmiņa rarely participated in chess tournaments, and only from 2016 she returned to chess competitions.

At the end of July and the beginning of August of the same year, Linda Krūmiņa took part in the International Women chess tournament in Erfurt and fulfilled the FIDE master (WFM) norm[6]. In October 2017, she won the Latvian Women Chess Championship, ahead of two Women Grandmasters (WGM) - Ilze Bērziņa and Ingūna Erneste[7].
