FIDE has decided against my participation in the 1975 World Chess Champion title.

I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves
Bobby Fischer
Image
I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.

Chess is like war on a board
Bobby Fischer
Image
I can remember times coming home from a chess club at four in the morning when I was half asleep and half dead and forcing myself to pray an hour and study an hour. You know, I was half out of my mind-stoned almost.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I was going to do a book about the first prearranged Karpov-Kasparov match, '84-'85. But the God-damn Jews have stolen my entire file on that.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Our mind is all we've got. Not that it won't lead us astray sometimes, but we still have to analyze things out within ourselves.

Image
I don't like American girls. They're very conceited, you know. In Europe they're more pleasant.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Well, I kind of split my life into two pieces. One was where my chess career lies. There, I kept my sanity, so to speak, and my logic. And the other was my religious life. I tried to apply what I learned in the church to my chess career too. But I still was studying chess. I wasn't just trusting in God to give me the moves.

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.

Image
There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player
Bobby Fischer
Image
I grew up with the concept of freedom of speech. So I'm too old, it's too late for me to adjust to the new world, the new world order.

All my games are real

Image
Yeah, there are too many Jews in chess. They seem to have taken away the class of the game. They don't seem to dress so nicely, you know. That's what I don't like.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.
Bobby Fischer
Image
The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality.
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 I ever want to do is just play chess.
Bobby Fischer
Image
As Olafsson showed me, White can win... It's hard to believe. I stayed up all night analysing, finally convicing myself, and, incidentally, learning a lot about Rook and Pawn endings in the process.
