Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
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
Image
They asked me what year it was, what month it was, etc. I easily answered these stupid questions.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
