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?

More quotes by Bobby Fischer
I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good Chess
Bobby Fischer
I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.
Bobby Fischer
They asked me what year it was, what month it was, etc. I easily answered these stupid questions.
Bobby Fischer
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
Yeah, there are too many Jews in chess. They seem to have taken away the class of the game. They don't seem to dress so nicely, you know. That's what I don't like.
Bobby Fischer
All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
Bobby Fischer
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
Bobby Fischer
I'd like to travel around, be an international playboy. They have all that money they could really do it right. Look at (Errol) Flynn.
Bobby Fischer
Blitz chess kills your ideas.
Bobby Fischer
I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.
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
I don't believe in psychology.
Bobby Fischer
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
Bobby Fischer
Tactics flow from a superior position
Bobby Fischer
Americans like a winner. If you lose, you're nothing. I'm going to win, though. It's good for the match that Spassky has a plus score against me. We've met five times. He's won three times and we've drawn twice. But I'm a stronger player and a long match favors me.
Bobby Fischer
All I ever want to do is just play chess.
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
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
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!
Bobby Fischer
When I won the World Championship in '72, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.
