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

Blitz chess kills your ideas.

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.

All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
Bobby Fischer

I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.

I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.
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.

Americans really don't know much about chess. But I think when I beat Spassky, that Americans will take a greater interest in chess. Americans like winners.

If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me

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!

People have been playing against me below their strength for fifteen years.
Bobby Fischer
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
The United States is evil. It has to be brought down, it has to be eliminated from the world scene. They are the ones who have made the world the hell that it is.
Bobby Fischer

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

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.
