Points of difference
The club uses 8 DGT live boards during club's tournaments. So 16 players out of the most 34 are using proper world standard tournament sets.
95 percent of all Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays tournament games are analysed by IM Michael Gluzman together with players immediately after their games conclude if players wish to do so. Strategic ideas are explained in simple terms. Only last finishing games don't get this opportunity
Approximately 50% of all the games are posted on club website in pgn format
Usually Open tournament on Thursdays has 2 international masters and FIDE Master playing
