I don't believe in psychology.

Nothing eases suffering like human touch.

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.

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?

I don't keep any close friends. I don't keep any secrets. I don't need friends. I just tell everybody everything, that's all.

Sometimes girls write me. One girl in Yugoslavia sent me a whole slew of love letters. I don't know how she got my address. She was in a crowd watching me play. She says when I left there the stars fell out of the sky over Yugoslavia, or something like that.

I don't believe in hero worship.
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.

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.

Chess demands total concentration
Bobby Fischer

I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.

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.
