More quotes by Bobby Fischer

Image
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I am boring. I am boring!

I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
Bobby Fischer

Genius. It's a word. What does it really mean? If I win I'm a genius. If I don't, I'm not.
Bobby Fischer

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

It is time to finish off the U.S. once and for all.

If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me
