As Olafsson showed me, White can win... It's hard to believe. I stayed up all night analysing, finally convicing myself, and, incidentally, learning a lot about Rook and Pawn endings in the process.

I am boring. I am boring!

Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...

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.

FIDE has decided against my participation in the 1975 World Chess Champion title.

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.

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'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Well, I kind of split my life into two pieces. One was where my chess career lies. There, I kept my sanity, so to speak, and my logic. And the other was my religious life. I tried to apply what I learned in the church to my chess career too. But I still was studying chess. I wasn't just trusting in God to give me the moves.

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

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

I don't believe in hero worship.

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

Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.
