More quotes by Bobby Fischer
I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.
Bobby Fischer
The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality.
Bobby Fischer
I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good Chess
Bobby Fischer
I usually never stay at the board after a game. Especially against Spassky. I made a dumb suggestion and he refuted it instantly! I know I'm going to have to play him some day and it was really stupid to look like such a jerk in front of him.
Bobby Fischer
Blitz chess kills your ideas.
Bobby Fischer
It is time to finish off the U.S. once and for all.
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

Bobby Fischer
Tactics flow from a superior position
Bobby Fischer
There's no one alive I can't beat.
Bobby Fischer
Yeah, there are too many Jews in chess. They seem to have taken away the class of the game. They don't seem to dress so nicely, you know. That's what I don't like.
Bobby Fischer
I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.
Bobby Fischer
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
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
To get squares you have to give up squares.
Bobby Fischer
My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration
Bobby Fischer
Sometimes girls write me. One girl in Yugoslavia sent me a whole slew of love letters. I don't know how she got my address. She was in a crowd watching me play. She says when I left there the stars fell out of the sky over Yugoslavia, or something like that.
Bobby Fischer
Genius. It's a word. What does it really mean? If I win I'm a genius. If I don't, I'm not.
Bobby Fischer
Vacations are designed to refresh the outlook of everyone. No matter how tired they may be when they return to work, vacationers have been refreshed emotionally and intellectually. Their effectiveness in their job has probably improved, and they are, generally speaking, better employees for the time off.
Bobby Fischer
I don't believe in hero worship.
