I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.

Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they're going to know the truth when I do this book!

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.

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

I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.

Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
