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.
