Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.
Bobby Fischer

The system set up by F.I.D.E. ... Insures that there will always be a Russian world champion... The Russians arranged it that way.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I grew up with the concept of freedom of speech. So I'm too old, it's too late for me to adjust to the new world, the new world order.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

Nothing eases suffering like human touch.

I add status to any tournament I attend.

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.

Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.
Bobby Fischer

There was open collusion between the Russian players. They agreed ahead of time to draw the games they played against each other. Every time they drew they gave each other half a point.
Bobby Fischer

I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.

She and I just don't see eye to eye together. She's a square. She keeps telling me that I'm too interested in chess, that I should get friends outside of chess, you can't make a living from chess, that I should finish high school and all that nonsense. She keeps in my hair and I don't like people in my hair, you know, so I had to get rid of her.

First of all, we have to understand what communism is. I mean, to me, real communism, the Soviet communism, is basically a mask for Bolshevism, which is a mask for Judaism.

I don't like American girls. They're very conceited, you know. In Europe they're more pleasant.

I was in Japan a couple of months ago, I saw a preview for the movie Pearl Harbor. And they showed the Japanese airplanes coming in to bomb Pearl Harbor, and I applauded. Nobody else in the theater applauded.

Americans like a winner. If you lose, you're nothing. I'm going to win, though. It's good for the match that Spassky has a plus score against me. We've met five times. He's won three times and we've drawn twice. But I'm a stronger player and a long match favors me.
