We consider the two-spin subsystem entanglement for eigenstates of the Hamiltonian \[ H= \sum_{1\leq j< k \leq N} (\frac{1}{r_{j,k}})^{\alpha} {\mathbf \sigma}_j\cdot {\mathbf \sigma}_k \] for a ring of $N$ spins 1/2 with asssociated spin vector operator $(\hbar /2){\bf \sigma}_j$ for the $j$-th spin. Here $r_{j,k}$ is the chord-distance betwen sites $j$ and $k$. The case $\alpha =2$ corresponds to the solvable Haldane-Shastry model whose spectrum has very high degeneracies not present for $\alpha \neq 2$. Two spin subsystem entanglement shows high sensistivity and distinguishes $\alpha =2$ from $\alpha \neq 2$. There is no entanglement beyond nearest neighbors for all eigenstates when $\alpha =2$. Whereas for $\alpha \neq 2$ one has selective entanglement at any distance for eigenstates of sufficiently high energy in a certain interval of $\alpha$ which depends on the energy. The ground state (which is a singlet only for even $N$) does not have entanglement beyond nearest neighbors, and the nearest neighbor entanglement is virtually independent of the range of the interaction controlled by $\alpha$.
