俄罗斯国际象棋专家奇格林斯基在俄日冲突爆发的时候,曾被派去指挥一个兵站,那里有20个团被陆续编队,每个团每周都会补充100人。在每周的最后一天,人数最多的那个团会被送往前线。碰巧有一次,第一团有1000人,第二团有950人,第三团有900人,以此类推,逐一递减50人,直到第20团(有50人)。奇格林斯基将军发现,第五个团(有800人)的团长是一位国际象棋高手。照上面的编队方式,这位棋手团长在5周之后就要被送往前线。为了避免这种情况,奇格林斯基每周只分给他30人。 Russian chess expert Chiglingski was dispatched to command a military depot at the time of the Russian-Japanese conflict, where 20 regiments were formed and each group added 100 weekly. On the last day of the week, the largest group will be sent to the front. By coincidence, the first group had 1,000, the second with 950, the third with 900, and so on, decreasing by 50 each until the 20th (50). General Chiglinski discovered that the head of the fifth regiment (with 800) was a chess master. According to the above formation, the chess leader will be sent to the frontline after five weeks. In order to avoid this situation, Chinglishki points to him only 30 people a week.
