Well, I kind of split my life into two pieces. One was where my chess career lies. There, I kept my sanity, so to speak, and my logic. And the other was my religious life. I tried to apply what I learned in the church to my chess career too. But I still was studying chess. I wasn't just trusting in God to give me the moves.

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.

Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind
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?

I add status to any tournament I attend.

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.

I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.

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

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.
