All I ever want to do is just play chess.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.
Bobby Fischer
Image
If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me
Bobby Fischer
Image
Genius. It's a word. What does it really mean? If I win I'm a genius. If I don't, I'm not.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Well, I'm not sure I know what you mean by a prima donna, but if something doesn't interest me or if someone bores me, or if I think they're a phony, I just don't bother with them, that's all.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Yeah, there are too many Jews in chess. They seem to have taken away the class of the game. They don't seem to dress so nicely, you know. That's what I don't like.
Bobby Fischer
Image
The Russians have fixed world chess.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I don't believe in hero worship.
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
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.
Bobby Fischer
Image
To get squares you have to give up squares.
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
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
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
Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind
Bobby Fischer
Image
First of all, we have to understand what communism is. I mean, to me, real communism, the Soviet communism, is basically a mask for Bolshevism, which is a mask for Judaism.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
Bobby Fischer
Image
All my games are real
Bobby Fischer
Image
My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don't take these things into consideration
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.
