| Mar-14-18 | | TheFocus: <madlydeeply: i read a Fine book wherein he referred to soviet players as using "harem scarem" tactics.> Must have been an Elvis fan. |
|
| Mar-15-18 | | offramp: <zanzibar: There is no game of Fine's in the 2010 edition of the <Mammoth Book>.
That's just not right!>
Perhaps the editors thought, "There is no Reuben Fine game - it takes too much time to find a game by him which one can enjoy." |

|
| May-31-18 | | sudoplatov: We do have an estimate of how well Fine would have done in the USSR. Leningrad 1937 won by Fine.
Moscow 1937 won by Fine.
Neither in the database. |
|
| May-31-18 | | Retireborn: Fine did play in Moscow in 1946 (as part of the US team) and his observations of Botvinnik etc then may have played a part in his 1948 decision, perhaps. |
|
| Jun-01-18 | | Granny O Doul: That footage linked by Jonathan Sarfati above is from "the Great Chess Movie", which is watchable on youtube and without the subtitles, at least at this moment. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Horowitz was giving a simultaneous display in Portland. Ruben Fine adopted a disguise and took a board. (Chess Review 1942) https://www.redhotpawn.com/imgu/blo... |
|
| Jul-13-18 | | JimNorCal: Sally, that is a cool photo! I'd never heard of this stunt before, what a great joke. |

|
| Nov-15-18 | | anjumskhan: His plus scores against all greats is enough for him to earn my respect. |
|
| Jul-03-19 | | Chesgambit: Fine vs Alekhine 1963 |
|
| Jul-03-19 | | csmath: Alekhine died 1946 so unless he played as a ghost that 1963 game was impossible. |
|

 | | beatgiant: He probably transposed 1936 to 1963. |
|
| Jul-04-19 | | csmath: Well, there is a 1963 Evans Gambit game where 20-year-old Bobby Fischer absolutely annihilated Reuben Fine and destroyed all the chess mystique associated with Fine. |
|
| Oct-11-19 | | Cibator: <csmath: Well, there is a 1963 Evans Gambit game where 20-year-old Bobby Fischer absolutely annihilated Reuben Fine and destroyed all the chess mystique associated with Fine.> And that, my friends, is more or less what Morphy would have done to Staunton a century earlier. The players' ages and circumstances in each case are near-exact parallels. |

 | | Ron: I was in a used bookstore today, and I came across a book by Rueben Fine, _A History of Psychoanalysis_.
https://www.amazon.com/History-Psyc... I browsed through it, wondering, Reuben Fine gave up chess for this intellectual garbage? |
|
Nov-17-19
| | HeMateMe: I'm just happy there are still used bookstores <somewhere> in the USA. We no longer have them in NYC except for Goodwill stores, and the books there are mostly garbage. |
|
Nov-29-19
| | Ron: I wonder if Reuben Fine had any psychoanalytic patients who were chess enthusiasts. I think it would be pretty cool if Reuben Fine discussed chess with his patients. |
|
| Mar-18-20 | | Parachessus: I forget who said it, but someone said that Fine's leaving chess was a loss for chess and a draw at best for psychoanalysis. |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: I've been laughing over the redhotpawn pic for 2 minutes now.... |
|
| Jun-15-20 | | Caissanist: I don't know if anyone took him up on the offer, but there was a blurb in the 1975 <Chess Life and Review> where Fine wrote <‘It would please me if you mentioned that I direct a low-cost mental health clinic, known as the Center for Creative Living, located at 9 East 89th Street, New York, NY 10028, (212) 369-3330, which has a special section for the therapy of the creative individual. Any chessplayer in need of help will receive my personal attention.’>. |
|
| Jun-15-20 | | Caissanist: Per Edward Winter, the original source for the quote about Fine's career being a loss for chess and at best a draw for psychoanalysis seems to have been Gilbert Cant, a longtime writer for <Time>: https://www.chesshistory.com/winter... . |

Doubt it. Being dead is seldom an advantage when fighting for the crown. |
|

 | | FSR: Peter Heine Nielsen and Jan Gustafsson rank Fine the 32nd greatest player of all time, ahead of the likes of Tarrasch, Ivanchuk, Pillsbury and Chigorin. https://chess24.com/en/learn/advanc... |
