Image
I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.
Bobby Fischer
Image
If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me

Nothing eases suffering like human touch.

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.
Bobby Fischer
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.

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.

I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
Bobby Fischer
Image
They're all weak, all women. They're stupid compared to men. They shouldn't play chess, you know. They're like beginners. They lose every single game against a man. There isn't a woman player in the world I can't give knight-odds to and still beat.
Bobby Fischer
Image
There's no one alive I can't beat.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Computers are our only opponents that don't always have no excuse when losing against me.
Bobby Fischer

I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.

I hope the Icelandic government grants me political asylum.
