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.

To get squares you have to give up squares.

I don't listen to weakies.

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.

People have been playing against me below their strength for fifteen years.

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.

All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.

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.
Bobby Fischer

Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

When I was eleven, I just got good.

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

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

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.

I don't believe in hero worship.
