Obituaries

[edit]

For reference, here are two obits for Golombek (don't think they're online, though)

  • Leonard Barden, 'Master of the board' [obituary], The Guardian (11 Jan 1995) 21;
  • Jon Speelman, 'Code breaker of chess board', The Observer (15 Jan 1995).

BP book rumour?

[edit]
  • "He worked as a code breaker in World War II at Bletchley Park and towards the end of his life wrote about this in a book, however the work was still regarded to be too secret to be published" [1]
  • "Apparently later in life he wrote a book about his experience at Bletchley Park but wasn't allowed to publish it by the british military censors. "[2]
