Analysis Area

Analysis area is located just outside the tournament hall in the coridor, which can be quite noisy and heard from the hall at times. After some complaint, the main tournament door was closed, which reduced the air ventilation to the hall, making the hall warmer than it already was.

Then, the tables were pushed further to the end of this coridor, with the hope to reduce the noise travelling to the tournament hall. 

The fun thing was, the players drink beer and wine while analysing the games.
