When I win, I'll put my title on the line every year, maybe even twice. I'll give players a chance to beat me.

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.

Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.
Bobby Fischer
Image
Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they're going to know the truth when I do this book!

I really love the dark of the night. It helps me to concentrate.
Bobby Fischer

Computers are our only opponents that don't always have no excuse when losing against me.

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