Did You Know: Chess At Sea
A game was played in June of 1902 between two Ocean Liners seventy miles apart. More than 100 moves were made in the contest before another liner broke in for a business conversation.

Some of the top chess players in the world were also code breakers during WWII. In fact, the British players Harry Golombek, Stuart Milner-Barry and H. O'D. Alexander were all a part of the team that cracked the Nazi Enigma code.
