At Trencianske Teplice 1928, Boris Kostic won ahead of Steiner, Sämisch and Spielmann. Boris Kostic (24 February 1887 – 3 November 1963) was a Serbian Grandmaster and one of the greatest travelers in chess history, traveling the globe in the days before the beginning of commercial aviation! He was undoubtedly an exceptional promoter and ambassador of chess, but this super activity prevented him from achieving better results and realizing his complete capacity as a player. Just during 1915 Boris Kostic traveled around almost all the United Sates and from 1923 throughout 1926 Kostic travelled all over the world, including Australasia (Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and some South Pacific islands!), the Far East, Africa, India, and Siberia, demonstrating his exceptional skills, generating interest in chess and thus (through chess!) establishing a growing friendship with different citizens around the world.
