More quotes by Bobby Fischer
The old chess is too limited. Imagine playing cards, black jack for example, and every time the dealer has the same starting hand you have the same starting hand. What's the point?
Bobby Fischer
As Olafsson showed me, White can win... It's hard to believe. I stayed up all night analysing, finally convicing myself, and, incidentally, learning a lot about Rook and Pawn endings in the process.
Bobby Fischer
Capablanca was among the greatest of chess players, but not because of his endgame. His trick was to keep his openings simple, and then play with such brilliance in the middlegame that the game was decided - even though his ooponent didn't always know it - before they arrived at the ending.
Bobby Fischer
I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good Chess
Bobby Fischer
I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
Bobby Fischer
Chess is like war on a board
Bobby Fischer
I can remember times coming home from a chess club at four in the morning when I was half asleep and half dead and forcing myself to pray an hour and study an hour. You know, I was half out of my mind-stoned almost.
Bobby Fischer
I am boring. I am boring!
Bobby Fischer
If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me
Bobby Fischer
I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.
Bobby Fischer
There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player
Bobby Fischer
All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
Bobby Fischer
People have been playing against me below their strength for fifteen years.
Bobby Fischer
I object to being called a chess genius because I consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. A piece of garbage like Kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. Outside of chess he knows nothing.
Bobby Fischer
The United States is evil. It has to be brought down, it has to be eliminated from the world scene. They are the ones who have made the world the hell that it is.
Bobby Fischer
When I win, I'll put my title on the line every year, maybe even twice. I'll give players a chance to beat me.
Bobby Fischer
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
Bobby Fischer
I don't keep any close friends. I don't keep any secrets. I don't need friends. I just tell everybody everything, that's all.
Bobby Fischer
All my games are real
Bobby Fischer
Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.
Bobby Fischer
