Image
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.

Blitz chess kills your ideas.

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

Capablanca was among the greatest of chess players, but not because of his endgame. His trick was to keep his openings simple, and then play with such brilliance in the middlegame that the game was decided - even though his ooponent didn't always know it - before they arrived at the ending.

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.

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.

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 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.

Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind
Bobby Fischer
Image
The United States is evil. It has to be brought down, it has to be eliminated from the world scene. They are the ones who have made the world the hell that it is.
Bobby Fischer

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

I don't remember one thing I learned in school.

Now my only income is a few royalty cheques from my books.

Normally we'd draw the curtain here, but I just wanted to see what he'd play next.

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

Computers are our only opponents that don't always have no excuse when losing against me.

The Russians have held my title for ten years and they're going to be in for it when I win the Championship. They're going to have to wait and play under my conditions.

Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all

The white people should go back to Europe, and the country should be returned to the American Indians. This is the future I would like to see for the so-called United States.
