Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Normally we'd draw the curtain here, but I just wanted to see what he'd play next.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

It is time to finish off the U.S. once and for all.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I was going to do a book about the first prearranged Karpov-Kasparov match, '84-'85. But the God-damn Jews have stolen my entire file on that.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I don't believe in psychology.
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
Image
Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.
Bobby Fischer

I really love the dark of the night. It helps me to concentrate.

There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player
Bobby Fischer

She and I just don't see eye to eye together. She's a square. She keeps telling me that I'm too interested in chess, that I should get friends outside of chess, you can't make a living from chess, that I should finish high school and all that nonsense. She keeps in my hair and I don't like people in my hair, you know, so I had to get rid of her.

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
Image
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
Bobby Fischer
Image
When I was eleven, I just got good.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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
Image
That's what Chess is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson, the next day he gives you one
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

If you have seen one Alekhine game you've seen them all.

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