More quotes by Bobby Fischer
All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
Bobby Fischer
The white people should go back to Europe, and the country should be returned to the American Indians. This is the future I would like to see for the so-called United States.
Bobby Fischer
Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...
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
All I ever want to do is just play chess.
Bobby Fischer
I add status to any tournament I attend.
Bobby Fischer
Chess demands total concentration
Bobby Fischer
There's no one alive I can't beat.
Bobby Fischer
I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.
Bobby Fischer
Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
Bobby Fischer
Well, I'm not sure I know what you mean by a prima donna, but if something doesn't interest me or if someone bores me, or if I think they're a phony, I just don't bother with them, that's all.
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 don't listen to weakies.
Bobby Fischer
I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
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
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
If you have seen one Alekhine game you've seen them all.
Bobby Fischer
When I won the World Championship in '72, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.
Bobby Fischer
I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves
Bobby Fischer
I don't believe in hero worship.
