  offramp: I once stayed at a Novotel. Don't think I saw him, though.
Apr-04-05  sneaky pete: <offramp> That's why he's called Novotel?no!
Dec-14-06  stanleys: Better later than never - Nikolay Novotelnov celebrated his 95 birthday recently.Want to wish him all the best!

Jun-25-08  vonKrolock: quote: <" Do You know that You are included into the list of the champions of Russia, beginning from A.Alekhine up to Peter <sic> Suidler? You were still the champion of the RSFSR in 1947!

- Yes? Wherefore should we remember it? It seems to me nobody needs it.

- Well, why do you say so? You are a living legend beside Andre Liliental and therefore any reminiscences are needed for the history of chess...

- What is your attitude towards poetry? - He has asked us suddenly. "> Interview (not dated), with a photo, and sample of N.N.'s poetry online here

Dec-09-08  brankat: Happy Birthday Mr.Novotelnov!

"Poetry is the same as radium output.
A year of work, labors in a gramme.
You are processing for the sake of one only word,
thousand tons of verbal ore!"

  FSR: Never heard of the guy, but he must have been extremely strong. As in super-GM strength or close to it at his peak.
