Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all

All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.

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.

Alekhine developed as a player much more slowly than most. In his twenties, he was an atrocious chessplayer, and didn't mature until he was well into his thirties.

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!

I don't keep any close friends. I don't keep any secrets. I don't need friends. I just tell everybody everything, that's all.

Every chess game is like taking a five-hour final exam.
Bobby Fischer

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

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.
