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

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

Nothing eases suffering like human touch.

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.

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

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.

The old chess is too limited. Imagine playing cards, black jack for example, and every time the dealer has the same starting hand you have the same starting hand. What's the point?
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.

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.

If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me
