I have never opened with the QP – on principle.
BOBBY FISCHER -

Nothing is so healing as the human touch.
BOBBY FISCHER -
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
BOBBY FISCHER -

BOBBY FISCHER -
Concentrate on material gains. Whatever your opponent gives you take, unless you see a good reason not to.

BOBBY FISCHER -
My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don’t take these things into consideration
BOBBY FISCHER -
