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
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.

I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good Chess
Bobby Fischer

I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.

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.

I am boring. I am boring!

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

I don't like American girls. They're very conceited, you know. In Europe they're more pleasant.

I add status to any tournament I attend.

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

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.

If you have seen one Alekhine game you've seen them all.
