I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good Chess

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

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.

I object to being called a chess genius because I consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. A piece of garbage like Kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he's like an idiot savant. Outside of chess he knows nothing.

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.

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

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

Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Normally we'd draw the curtain here, but I just wanted to see what he'd play next.

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.

I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.

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.

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.
