More quotes by Bobby Fischer
To get squares you have to give up squares.
Bobby Fischer
Now my only income is a few royalty cheques from my books.
Bobby Fischer
Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind
Bobby Fischer
All my games are real
Bobby Fischer
I don't listen to weakies.
Bobby Fischer
When I win, I'll put my title on the line every year, maybe even twice. I'll give players a chance to beat me.
Bobby Fischer
Chess is like war on a board
Bobby Fischer
Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...
Bobby Fischer
There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
I usually never stay at the board after a game. Especially against Spassky. I made a dumb suggestion and he refuted it instantly! I know I'm going to have to play him some day and it was really stupid to look like such a jerk in front of him.
Bobby Fischer
All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
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
If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
I don't like American girls. They're very conceited, you know. In Europe they're more pleasant.
Bobby Fischer
All I ever want to do is just play chess.
Bobby Fischer
The Russians have fixed world chess.
