Teach people to play new chess, right away. Why do you offer them a black and white television set, when there is a set in color?
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.

I’d like to travel around, be an international playboy. They have all that money; they could really do it right. Look at (Errol) Flynn.

International Looks Playboy
I’m really not interested in that. I want to keep the old chess flavor. I want to keep the old chess game. But just making a change so the starting positions are mixed, so it’s not degenerated down to memorisation and prearrangement like it is today.

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.

Communism Firsts Mean Real Understand
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

Freedom Late Order Speech Too
I don’t believe in wasting time. My goal is to win the World Chess Championship; to beat the Russians. I take this very seriously.
BOBBY FISCHER

Championship Chess Game Seriously
The main idea behind any opening is to get a strong pawn center and give your pieces a lot of scope so that you cramp your opponent’s position and can attack weaknesses in his game.
BOBBY FISCHER

Man Pawn Scope Strong Weaknesses
I was never invited to the White House.

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.
