Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.
Bobby Fischer
Image
The Russians have held my title for ten years and they're going to be in for it when I win the Championship. They're going to have to wait and play under my conditions.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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

All my games are real

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.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I'd like to travel around, be an international playboy. They have all that money they could really do it right. Look at (Errol) Flynn.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

Computers are our only opponents that don't always have no excuse when losing against me.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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
Image
Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

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.

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.

They asked me what year it was, what month it was, etc. I easily answered these stupid questions.
Bobby Fischer
Image
My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration
Bobby Fischer

I don't believe in hero worship.

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