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
Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...
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
Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
Bobby Fischer
Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.
Bobby Fischer
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.
Bobby Fischer
The United States is evil. It has to be brought down, it has to be eliminated from the world scene. They are the ones who have made the world the hell that it is.
Bobby Fischer
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
FIDE has decided against my participation in the 1975 World Chess Champion title.
Bobby Fischer
The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality.
Bobby Fischer
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
Tactics flow from a superior position
Bobby Fischer
I really love the dark of the night. It helps me to concentrate.
Bobby Fischer
I am boring. I am boring!
Bobby Fischer
I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good Chess
Bobby Fischer
I hope the Icelandic government grants me political asylum.
Bobby Fischer
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
Bobby Fischer
Every chess game is like taking a five-hour final exam.
Bobby Fischer
There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player
Bobby Fischer
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
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.
