I’m not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I’m the best. You don’t need a match to prove it.

Bobby Fischer

I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
BOBBY FISCHER

Medicine Play Winning
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.
BOBBY FISCHER

Player Winning Years
Too many times, people don’t try their best. They don’t have the keen spirit; the winning spirit. And once you make it you’ve got to guard your reputation – every day go in like an unknown to prove yourself. That’s why I don’t clown around.

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.

I don’t remember one thing I learned in school.

One Remember School Thing
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 kind of split my life into two pieces. One was where my chess career lies. There, I kept my sanity, so to speak, and my logic. And the other was my religious life. I tried to apply what I learned in the church to my chess career too. But I still was studying chess. I wasn’t just “trusting in God” to give me the moves.
BOBBY FISCHER

Lying Moving Religious
I don’t like to dwell on the past. I’m interested in Fischerandom now, I am working on a new clock, I’m trying to make chess a more exciting game today. I am not interested in sitting in my rocking chair thinking what I did 10, 20 or 30 years ago.
