That's what Chess is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson, the next day he gives you one
Bobby Fischer

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.

She and I just don't see eye to eye together. She's a square. She keeps telling me that I'm too interested in chess, that I should get friends outside of chess, you can't make a living from chess, that I should finish high school and all that nonsense. She keeps in my hair and I don't like people in my hair, you know, so I had to get rid of her.

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

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

All I ever want to do is just play chess.

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?
