Quote

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.

There's no one alive I can't beat.
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.

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.

My main interest right now is to expose the Jews. This is a lot bigger than me. They're not just persecuting me. This is not just my struggle, I'm not just doing this for myself... This is life and death for the world. These God-damn Jews have to be stopped. They're a menace to the whole world.

Genius. It's a word. What does it really mean? If I win I'm a genius. If I don't, I'm not.

Americans really don't know much about chess. But I think when I beat Spassky, that Americans will take a greater interest in chess. Americans like winners.
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.

My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration

I am boring. I am boring!

It is time to finish off the U.S. once and for all.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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

All I ever want to do is just play chess.
Bobby Fischer
Image
The United States is evil. It has to be brought down, it has to be eliminated from the world scene. They are the ones who have made the world the hell that it is.
Bobby Fischer

Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
Bobby Fischer

Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.

That's what Chess is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson, the next day he gives you one
