Jul-22-12  thomastonk: Dear <Karpova>, here is a link to the page you mentioned: http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/a....

On this page, a few chess successes of the son are described. The following pages show a picture of father and son, and a game of the son. Chessbase's Mega Database contains 10 of his games from Vienna B tournament 1921.

Dec-19-13  DoctorD: I am still trying to figure out how one plays "solide" (solid), and "Abenteurliches" (adventurous) chess!
Dec-23-13  Karpova: <Landstrasser Schachbund (III/2, Radetzkyplatz 3, Cafe "Hungaria")> 4-player quadruple-round robin tournament 1915:

1. S R Wolf 9.0
2. Ernst Grünfeld 8.5
3. H Sauer 5.5
4. J Willmann 1.0

The decisive game was the last round encounter between Wolf and Grünfeld. Grünfeld was leading at a draw would have been sufficient, but Wolf beat him in 106 moves.

Mini-matches:

Wolf - Grünfeld 2.5-1.5 (+2 -1 =1)
Wolf - Sauer 2.5-1.5 (+1 -0 =3)
Wolf - Willmann 4.0-0.0
Grünfeld - Sauer 3.0-1.0 (+2 -0 =2)
Grünfeld - Willmann 4.0-0.0
Sauer - Willmann 3.0-0.0 (+2 -0 =2)

This was the first tournament ever for Willmann.

Jan-11-14  Karpova: <DoctorD: I am still trying to figure out how one plays "solide" (solid), and "Abenteurliches" (adventurous) chess!>

The expression <abhold> means something like averse, so Wolf's play is characterized as being solid and averse to everything adventurous, phantastic and daring.

Feb-06-14  Karpova: <Landstrasser Schachbund> Winter tournament for stronger players, 10 rounds:

1. S R Wolf 8.5
2. J E Krejcik 8.0
