According to a report compiled by the Brazilian South American Overseas Chinese News Network, Chinese sisters Sophia Feng and Elisa Feng (Elisa Feng) from the coastal city of Santos in São Paulo, Brazil ) Has shown amazing talent in chess, and her 8-year-old sister Eliza won the championship of the under 9-year-old national chess championship in Brazil.

　　The Brazilian “São Paulo Page” reported that Eliza is considered a chess prodigy, and the championship she won was certified by the Brazilian Chess Federation (CBX) and the World Chess Federation (Fide).

Eliza also won the Sao Paulo State Championship three times before.

Sister Sofia also won the Sao Paulo State Championship.

　　The two sisters said in unison: "We want to be world masters."

　　The title of "Grand Master" represents the highest level of the sport.

The road to this goal is long and requires a lot of learning.

Sister Sophia said: "We often watch matches together and study the start of the Grand Masters. We also play online, when our mother allows us to play."

　　54-year-old Feng Yunyou (Feng Yunyou, transliteration) and 46-year-old Wu Xiaochang (Xiaochang Wu, transliteration) are the parents of two sisters. They run a small bar. The family has lived in Santos for about 15 years.

The Chinese couple said that the children can only use their mobile phones at home on a limited basis, and can only use the mother's mobile phone for up to 30 minutes a day.

　　The girls’ mothers told the media: “They just think about chess. For me, this is a very fast game, and I can’t understand it.”

　　It was not easy for the two sisters to start in chess.

Because they do not master the language, their parents only allow them to go to class or participate in school competitions.

In order to participate in the national competition, Eliza’s teacher paid her 130 reais for the registration fee and tried to arrange her to travel to the competition venue 300 kilometers away.

　　The sisters’ uncle Vitor Wu said: “They (referring to the sisters’ parents) did not want her to participate in the competition, but they listened to my opinion. Cost for two people."

　　This victory earned Eliza the qualifications of the South American Division, but due to lack of sponsorship, she may not be able to participate in the next competition.

　　Currently, Sophia is studying in a public school in Santos and received a full scholarship until the ninth grade.

The two sisters also received an invitation from another school, which also provided full scholarships.
