If we’re talking about the promotion of chess anyway, why no bring this story as well. The famous club Real Madrid is at least as successful in basketball as in footbal. One of the players in their football team is the Brazilian player Julio César Baptista; in the basketball team Lazaros Papadopoulos from Greece plays. What these gentlemen have in common? Not only do they both play for Real, but they also love chess! Here an interview with the two.
