More quotes by 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
My main interest right now is to expose the Jews. This is a lot bigger than me. They're not just persecuting me. This is not just my struggle, I'm not just doing this for myself... This is life and death for the world. These God-damn Jews have to be stopped. They're a menace to the whole world.
Bobby Fischer
I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
Bobby Fischer
All I ever want to do is just play chess.
Bobby Fischer
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.

The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality.
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
There was open collusion between the Russian players. They agreed ahead of time to draw the games they played against each other. Every time they drew they gave each other half a point.
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
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.
Bobby Fischer
The Russians have fixed world chess.
Bobby Fischer
Tactics flow from a superior position
Bobby Fischer
Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.
Bobby Fischer
Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
Bobby Fischer
All my games are real
Bobby Fischer
I grew up with the concept of freedom of speech. So I'm too old, it's too late for me to adjust to the new world, the new world order.
Bobby Fischer
I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.
Bobby Fischer
The old chess is too limited. Imagine playing cards, black jack for example, and every time the dealer has the same starting hand you have the same starting hand. What's the point?
Bobby Fischer
