I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
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
I really love the dark of the night. It helps me to concentrate.
Bobby Fischer
Image
I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.
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
Alekhine developed as a player much more slowly than most. In his twenties, he was an atrocious chessplayer, and didn't mature until he was well into his thirties.
Bobby Fischer
Image
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.

As Olafsson showed me, White can win... It's hard to believe. I stayed up all night analysing, finally convicing myself, and, incidentally, learning a lot about Rook and Pawn endings in the process.
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.

Chess is like war on a board

Every chess game is like taking a five-hour final exam.

Tactics flow from a superior position
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.

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

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.

I don't listen to weakies.

Capablanca was among the greatest of chess players, but not because of his endgame. His trick was to keep his openings simple, and then play with such brilliance in the middlegame that the game was decided - even though his ooponent didn't always know it - before they arrived at the ending.

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

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

Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.
