	Reuben Fine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reuben Fine (October 11, 1914 – March 26, 1993) was one of the best chess players in the world during the 1930s.
		Fine was also considered one of the best players of blitz chess in the world.
		One of Fine's more interesting beliefs was that homosexuality could be "cured", and his opinions regarding this were used in conjunction with legal battles in the U.S. involving homosexuality, including the legislative battle over same-sex marriage in Hawaii.

	McFarland - Publisher of Reference and Scholarly Books
		American Grandmaster Reuben Fine grew up in the East Bronx in an impoverished Russian-Jewish family, learning to play chess from an uncle at the age of eight.
		The work also includes a biography of Fine, and notes aspects of his career that merit further study: his contribution to endgame and middlegame theory, his methods and style of play, and his exhibition play.
		Fine’s career results, brief biographical data about his opponents, a comprehensive bibliography that includes his contributions to journals, and indexes of players and of openings complete the work.

	The chess games of Reuben Fine
		Reuben Fine has a lifetime plus score against WCs Lasker, Euwe, Botvinnik, and Alekhine, and is co-winner of ARVO 1938 with Keres.
		Keres is a more dynamic player than Fine, certainly, but I believe Alekhine would be able to exploit that better (being a dynamic, aggressive, risk-taking player himself, but with a lifetime more experience than Keres behind him, and less "holes" in his technique) than Fine's super-refined, technician style, which not even Capablanca could crack.
		Fine managed an impressive blindfold chess feat in winning four simultaneous games in which he was limited to 10 seconds per move when each board came around.

		It is a prodigious feat of chess scholarship, presented to the reader in clear, pithy language, full of telling phrases that will linger in the memory and rise to aid the harassed competitor just when he needs it most....
		but Reuben Fine-- the greatest US contender for the world chess championship before RJ Fischer--the man Botvinnik (and the soviet system of chess) most worried about before he gave up chess for medicine-- knew his stuff better than the rest.
		Reuben Fine was a great player and almost reached the very top in chess.

	Robert James Fischer vs Reuben Fine (1963)
		Fine was the only non-champion to have a plus score, overall, against the world champions he played.
		In his revision of "The World's Best Chess Games," he asserted that he and Keres should have been retroactively declared co-champions for the 1946-48 interim between Alekhine's death and the Moscow tournament on the basis of their AVRO tie.
		Fine's record against World Champions is virtually the only area where he is superior to any of the top ten contenders.

	John Donaldson Latest Book Review
		Add Reuben Fine, who tied for first at AVRO 1938 at the age of 24, and you have things right.
		Fine's autobiography, which came out in 1958, contained 45 of his match and tournament games while ChessBase: Mega 2004 has not many more than 300 including blitz and simul games.
		The author acknowledges that more material on Fine is still to be found and hopes to add to this work in a future edition.

		GM R. Fine wrote the original book in about 4-6 months, the world's endgame experts did not believe that this feat could be accomplished in ten years!!!
		The current authors did not attempt to explain the basic ideas of many of the newer examples that were added, Fine often went to great lengths to do this.
		Fine's original volume only had positions that were VERY practical or were culled from actual games.

		But still if you're a beginning player you should instead be studying endgames and tactics first before openings.
		Again, using the Slav as an example, Fine does not mention that Black's current variaton 4...a6 in which Black does not surrender the center.
		So, the paradox is that this is a book that presumably teaches us how to evaluate an opening move and yet disagrees with much of current theory.

		How else could it be, when Reuben Fine, colossal player that he was, bestriding the world scene from 1935 until the world war, claimed to have written it in just four months, without benefit of Fritz?
		I even visited Fine once for some avuncular advice when I was considering a chess career.
		Having memorized Fine's dictum that it always draws except with a center P or BP on the 7th supported by the K, I graciously offered a draw — since I had a RP.
