Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...
Bobby Fischer
Image
I don't like American girls. They're very conceited, you know. In Europe they're more pleasant.
Bobby Fischer
Image
My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration
Bobby Fischer

Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.
Bobby Fischer
Image
If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

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.

When I won the World Championship in '72, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.

I was going to do a book about the first prearranged Karpov-Kasparov match, '84-'85. But the God-damn Jews have stolen my entire file on that.

I don't believe in hero worship.

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

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

I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
Bobby Fischer

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.
Bobby Fischer

I don't listen to weakies.
Bobby Fischer

The Russians have fixed world chess.
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

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!
