European Senior Champion
Mark Tseitlin has become the European Senior Champion thrice (2004 in Arvier, 2005 in Bad Homerg, and 2008 in Dresden).
Despite this remarkable success, Israeli Chess Federation failed to provide financial basis for Tseitlin to participate in World Senior Championships, preferring to sponsor other lower-rated chess players, both in 2004, in 2005 and in 2008 as well.

In 2004 Tseitlin won 1st World Senior Team Championship, together with Jacob Murey, Yair Kraidman and Yedael Stepak.

Famous quotes containing the words european, senior and/or champion:
“When the inhabitants of some sequestered island first descry the “big canoe” of the European rolling through the blue waters towards their shores, they rush down to the beach in crowds, and with open arms stand ready to embrace the strangers. Fatal embrace! They fold to their bosoms the vipers whose sting is destined to poison all their joys; and the instinctive feeling of love within their breasts is soon converted into the bitterest hate.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“But now Miss America, World’s champion woman, you take your promenading self down into the cobalt blue waters of the Caribbean and see what happens. You meet a lot of darkish men who make vociferous love to you, but otherwise pay you no mid.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
