Apr-10-12    jackpawn: Who was this Hoff guy? He won against some strong players. Jul-25-12    GrahamClayton: I did some google searches and could find no other references to any other games apart from the 1916 Western Championship in Chicago. I presume he was a Chicago player? Jul-25-12    Phony Benoni: I got his games from a report on the Western Championshp in the <American Chess Bulletin>, Sept./Oct. 1916. He was indeed from Chicago, but there was no other information. His one loss to Showalter is a strange game. Hard to tell if JWS was crazy or a genius.
