I was never invited to the White House.

They asked me what year it was, what month it was, etc. I easily answered these stupid questions.

Nothing eases suffering like human touch.

Americans like a winner. If you lose, you're nothing. I'm going to win, though. It's good for the match that Spassky has a plus score against me. We've met five times. He's won three times and we've drawn twice. But I'm a stronger player and a long match favors me.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.

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.

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.

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