| Honza Cervenka: Heinrich Wolf (1875-1943) had an unusual international chess career. His 17 tournaments were spread over two separate periods: 1900-08 and 1922-23. |

| Giancarlo: You can always count on Honza for the information no one knows about. Very informative guy. |

| The17thPawn: Hey <Honza> - Have you seen how thoroughly Wolf owned Chigorin. Blanked him 6-0. Not even Lasker managed that against Chigorin. |

| brankat: H.Wolf was a talented player, but never really a professional, hence the unusual sequence of his tournaments. He had Wins and/or Draws with such outstanding masters as: Showalter, A.Burn, J.Mason, I.Gunsberg, M.Chigorin, F.Marshall, J.Mieses, Tiechmann, H.N.Pillsbury, K.Schlehter etc. |

| Gypsy: At one of his columns, Reti alludes to H. Wolf as being a sort of a Viennese chess 'hustler' -- making a fair (second?) income from playing for small stakes in the local chess club(s). |

| Manic: <The17thPawn> brings up a very interesting point. 6-0 against chigorin, a world championship challenger. And furthermore, thats 6 out of 6, with no draws. Amazing. |

| Karpova: Kmoch/Reinfeld in Chess Review 1950:
<True, Heinrich Wolf was a player of better than average strength. His score after the twentieth round was a respectable 10-9. It was not too implausible to hope he might beat Rubinstein. Yet this hope was silly in view of Wolf's style and temperament: excelling in steadiness, Wolf, despite his ferocious name, almost loathed imagination and courage.> They were talking about the last round in Carlsbad 1907. |

| whiteshark: Im Wien jener Tage gab es drei Schachspieler mit Namen <Wolf>. Der eine, <Siegfried August> mit Vornamen, war seiner Qualifikation nach der Schwächste des Trios, fiel aber stets durch sein anziehendes Äußeres auf. Der zweite, <Siegfried Reginald> war von Beruf Geschäftsreisender. Der Dritte im Bunde, <Heinrich>, besaß Meisterstärke und schlug sich oft und mit Erfolg in der Turnierarena. Um Verwechslungen vorzubeugen, gaben ihnen die Vereinskameraden im Neuen Wiener Schachklub folgende Beinamen: Der <reizende> Wolf, der <reisende> Wolf und der <reißende> Wolf. |

| HeMateMe: Eddie Van halen and Valerie Bertineilli named their only child "Wolfgang,", or Wolf, or Wolfie, for short. Van Halen was actually a serious piano student growing up, and he was a pianist before he took up the axe. Mozart is his favorite composer, thus "Wolfgang." |
