More quotes by Bobby Fischer

Image
The Russians have fixed world chess.
Bobby Fischer
Image
My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration
Bobby Fischer
Image
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
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
Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all
Bobby Fischer
Image
When I won the World Championship in '72, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Tactics flow from a superior position
Bobby Fischer
Image
I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves
Bobby Fischer

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

If you have seen one Alekhine game you've seen them all.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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 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.
Bobby Fischer
Image
All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.
Bobby Fischer
Image
There was open collusion between the Russian players. They agreed ahead of time to draw the games they played against each other. Every time they drew they gave each other half a point.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Blitz chess kills your ideas.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind
