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.

More quotes by Bobby Fischer
I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
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.
Bobby Fischer
Chess demands total concentration
Bobby Fischer
It is time to finish off the U.S. once and for all.
Bobby Fischer
They asked me what year it was, what month it was, etc. I easily answered these stupid questions.
Bobby Fischer
Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
I was never invited to the White House.
Bobby Fischer
If you have seen one Alekhine game you've seen them all.
Bobby Fischer
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
Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...
Bobby Fischer
They're all weak, all women. They're stupid compared to men. They shouldn't play chess, you know. They're like beginners. They lose every single game against a man. There isn't a woman player in the world I can't give knight-odds to and still beat.
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
Normally we'd draw the curtain here, but I just wanted to see what he'd play next.
Bobby Fischer
I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves
Bobby Fischer
Sometimes girls write me. One girl in Yugoslavia sent me a whole slew of love letters. I don't know how she got my address. She was in a crowd watching me play. She says when I left there the stars fell out of the sky over Yugoslavia, or something like that.
Bobby Fischer
I don't listen to weakies.
Bobby Fischer
Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
Bobby Fischer
All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves.
Bobby Fischer
Nothing eases suffering like human touch.
Bobby Fischer
