二次大战期间,伦敦北部的一座被伪装成医院的布兰切尔庄园实际上是英国的一个绝密情报所,约有1.2万名志愿者在那儿日以继夜地截获敌方信号并加以破译。当年曾被德国人说成‘绝对无法破译’的德国恩尼格电码就在这儿被英国的一个‘百人小组’破译,盟军于是得到了德人的最机密情报。有行家认为恩尼格密码的破译对大西洋的海战产生了重大影响,并使二战至少缩短了三年。但直至最近,才有一位知情人——朗戈勋爵披露,立此大功的‘百人小组’由英国最著名的国际象棋大师、填字游戏高手及数学家组成。如此看来,英国的象棋大师在二战中可谓

But until recently, there was an insider, Lord Langger revealed that the 100-strong group was made up of the most famous chess masters, crossword puzzles and mathematicians in Britain. It seems that the British master chess can be described as World War II
