Examples of using "Leitão" in a sentence and their english translations:
According to Rafael Leitão, it is very difficult for a professional chess player to get sponsorship in Brazil, because chess is not popular in our country.
Rafael Leitão points out that the insertion of chess in Brazilian schools is a positive fact, but he believes that we are still far from the minimum acceptable level for someone to earn stable incomes as a professional chess player.
Due to the lack of government support for sport, says Rafael Leitão, the professional chess player in Brazil has no financial stability at all. So, if you want to take chess seriously, you need to travel all the time to Europe and the United States to play in the big tournaments.
