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

The Russians have fixed world chess.

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.

Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...

Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.

Chess is like war on a board

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

There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player

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

I usually never stay at the board after a game. Especially against Spassky. I made a dumb suggestion and he refuted it instantly! I know I'm going to have to play him some day and it was really stupid to look like such a jerk in front of him.

Computers are our only opponents that don't always have no excuse when losing against me.
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.

They're all weak, all women. They're stupid compared to men. They shouldn't play chess, you know. They're like beginners. They lose every single game against a man. There isn't a woman player in the world I can't give knight-odds to and still beat.

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 is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.
Bobby Fischer
Image
They asked me what year it was, what month it was, etc. I easily answered these stupid questions.

I don't listen to weakies.

I don't believe in hero worship.
Bobby Fischer

Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they're going to know the truth when I do this book!

Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind
