we were reading a book about the code breaking, alan turing, etc...
it says that some bridge players and chess champions were code breakers back in 1939

i found the following on the net http://blog.chess.co...aking-and-spies

but no one mentions the bridge champions, do you all know who they are?

According to this obituary, Dr. Eastland Stuart Staveley and his wife were the full staff of the EBU from 1965 to 1978. He was a code breaker at Bletchley Park for the last year of the war.
