Not to be confused with the Maryland player of the early 2000's Adam Fine.

Adam Fine played for Yale before coming to Chicago for his PhD.

In high school, Adam played for University of Chicago Laboratory Schools, where he placed T-21st at 2015 HSNCT and T-8th at 2015 NSC. He was named a Honorable Mention for the 2015 HSQBRank All-World Teams.

Adam's deep science and flashcard knowledge were key to the Yale squads that won the DI ICT championship in 2018 and 2019. He also carried a team of Auroni Gupta, Jakob Myers, and Clark Smith to victory at the 2019 Chicago Open, and was pivotal in Chicago's double undefeated performance at ICT and ACF Nationals in 2024.

In recent years, Fine has declared himself to be the "#2 Science Player" in collegiate quizbowl (i.e. second only to Geoffrey Chen), which was corroborated by losing to Chen at 2023 ICT and in that year's subject-specialist player poll [1].

Despite the official statistics of ACF Nationals 2016 and 2017, Adam's middle initial is rumored not to be, in fact, an "S."
