Madame Rossolimo, who outlived him and continued to operate
Rossiolimos Chess studio after he died, told me his Russian name. He
was a chess master at an early age and won some major tournaments
under his Russian name. It might be possible to find these. She had
written a biography of him and an autobiography of herself which she
read to me from time to time. She was looking for a publisher but it
needed to be translated into English. She was from Vladavostok. Her
biography seemed interesting. I wonder if it just got thrown out after
she died, or if it still exists somewhere.

Madame Rossolimo, who died on 9 June 1995, had a maiden name of Boudakovitch.
She and Nicholas had one son, Alexander, who lives in Massachusetts. Dr.
Alexander N. Rossolimo, who is 65 years old, is president of Strategy
Associates International. He is an expert on nuclear terrorism.
By the way, Nicholas Rossolimo's father was Spiridon Rossolimo and his mother
was Xenia N. Skugarevsky. His paternal grandfather was Nicholas Rossolimo.
I think if one were to contact Dr. Alexander Rossolimo, c/o Strategy Associates
International in Massachusetts, one might find out for sure if his father's
real last name something other than Rossolimo. All signs still point to
Rossolimo being his real last name.
