I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good Chess
Bobby Fischer

I was in Japan a couple of months ago, I saw a preview for the movie Pearl Harbor. And they showed the Japanese airplanes coming in to bomb Pearl Harbor, and I applauded. Nobody else in the theater applauded.

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.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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

Chess demands total concentration
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

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

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

Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.
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
I usually never stay at the board after a game. Especially against Spassky. I made a dumb suggestion and he refuted it instantly! I know I'm going to have to play him some day and it was really stupid to look like such a jerk in front of him.

Nothing eases suffering like human touch.

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

The Russians have fixed world chess.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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!

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
Image
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.

I don't listen to weakies.
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.
