Subject: Eva Veronica, wife of FIDE Master Asa Hoffmann, has died
|
Eva Veronica, wife of FIDE Chess Master Asa Hoffmann, died yesterday,
December 3, 2007. She was 70 years old and that was her birthday.
Eva was an amateur photographer who met FIDE Master Asa Hoffmann at a
chess tournament around 30 years ago. She has supported him for years
allowing him to devote almost his full time to chess.
Of Russian origin, Eva sometimes appeared in gangster flims playing
bit parts as a Mafia Moll or the mother of a Mafia Don.

That comes from a line in the movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer"
where Asa Hoffmann is made to look crazy and is played by an actor.
The line is "son of two Park Avenue lawyers".
I asked Asa about it and he told me that it is true. Both his mother
and his father were Park Avenue lawyers but his mother died at an
early age.
Asa has no advanced degree that I know of and has always been a chess
bum. He cannot make much of a living playing chess for money in the
park. He is 64 now.

I thought Asa came from a wealthy family and even had a degree in a
white-collar profession that he could use.
Besides, he's good enough at chess not to need much help.

Don't rely on overexposed, mass-keted commercial seduction methods which
no longer work.
Thinking of taking a seduction "workshiop?" Read THIS:

Beware! VH-1's "The Pickup Artst" was FRAUDULENT. Six of the eight
contestants were actors, and they used PAID TARGETS in the club. The paid
targets got mad when VH-1 said "there are no actors in this club" and ruined
their prromised acting credit. What else has Mystery lied about?
