Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all
Bobby Fischer

It is time to finish off the U.S. once and for all.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

She and I just don't see eye to eye together. She's a square. She keeps telling me that I'm too interested in chess, that I should get friends outside of chess, you can't make a living from chess, that I should finish high school and all that nonsense. She keeps in my hair and I don't like people in my hair, you know, so I had to get rid of her.

To get squares you have to give up squares.

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.

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

I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
