Chess is war over the board. The object is to crush the opponents mind.

Bobby Fischer

I was going to do a book about the first prearranged Karpov-Kasparov match, ’84-’85. But the God-damn Jews have stolen my entire file on that.

I love the game – and I hate the Russians because they’ve almost ruined it. They only risk the title when they have to, every three years. They play for draws with each other but play to win against the Western masters. Draws make for dull chess, wins make for fighting chess.

Fighting Hate Winning
I studied that first Karpov-Kasparov match for a year and a half before I cracked it, what they were doing, and discovered that it was all prearranged move-by-move. There’s no doubt of it in my mind.

Yeah, I used to dress badly until I was about sixteen. But people just didn’t seem to have enough respect for me, you know And I didn’t like that, so I decided I’d have to show them they weren’t any better than me, you know?

They were sort of priding themselves. They would say, ‘He beat us at chess, but he’s still just an uncouth kid.’ So I decided to dress up.

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.

Freedom Late Order Speech Too
I love chess, and I didn’t invent Fischerandom chess to destroy chess. I invented Fischerandom chess to keep chess going. Because I consider the old chess is dying, it really is dead.

I was in Japan a couple of months ago, I saw a preview for the movie Pearl Harbor. And they showed the Japanese airplanes coming in to bomb Pearl Harbor, and I applauded. Nobody else in the theater applauded.

I can remember times coming home from a chess club at four in the morning when I was half asleep and half dead and forcing myself to pray an hour and study an hour. You know, I was half out of my mind-stoned almost.
