diagonal: maybe the most notable tournament win of moldovan DMITRY SVETUSHKIN: <17th Bora Kostic Memorial in Vrsac 2012>: Kiril Georgiev, Predrag Nikolic, Dmitry Svetushkin, Nikola Sedlak, Ognjen Cvitan and Boban Bogosavljevic played in this traditional invitation tournament in tribute to Bora Kostic, the first Serbian Grandmaster.
Borislav Kostic (1887 - 1963) was born in Vrsac, grandmaster awarded in 1950 (on its inaugural list of only 27 players).
The 1st Kostic Memorial has been held in 1964, the 17th (and last to-date) in 2012, mostly in a two years cycle, with some longer breaks, all played in Vrsac.
Svetushkin won this 17th edition in 2012 outright and convincingly:
