I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
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
Chess demands total concentration
Bobby Fischer
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
Bobby Fischer
Our mind is all we've got. Not that it won't lead us astray sometimes, but we still have to analyze things out within ourselves.
Bobby Fischer
I add status to any tournament I attend.
Bobby Fischer
Well, I'm not sure I know what you mean by a prima donna, but if something doesn't interest me or if someone bores me, or if I think they're a phony, I just don't bother with them, that's all.
Bobby Fischer
If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me
Bobby Fischer
When I was eleven, I just got good.
Bobby Fischer
Normally we'd draw the curtain here, but I just wanted to see what he'd play next.
Bobby Fischer

Bobby Fischer
Every chess game is like taking a five-hour final exam.
Bobby Fischer
I don't listen to weakies.
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 don't like American girls. They're very conceited, you know. In Europe they're more pleasant.
Bobby Fischer
Computers are our only opponents that don't always have no excuse when losing against me.
Bobby Fischer
The system set up by F.I.D.E. ... Insures that there will always be a Russian world champion... The Russians arranged it that way.
Bobby Fischer
All I ever want to do is just play chess.
Bobby Fischer
All my games are real
