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.

America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they’re doing in Yugoslavia…
BOBBY FISCHER

Control Country Mean Under Yugoslavia
They’re lying bastards. Jews were always lying bastards throughout their history. They’re a filthy, dirty, disgusting, vile, criminal people.

Bustard Dirty Lying People
Genius. It’s a word. What does it really mean? If I win I’m a genius. If I don’t, I’m not.

They asked me what year it was, what month it was, etc. I easily answered these stupid questions.

Answered Ask Stupid Years
Americans really don’t know much about chess. But I think when I beat Spassky, that Americans will take a greater interest in chess. Americans like winners.

Chess Thinking World
When I used to go to the Manhattan Chess Club back in the fifties, I met a lot of old-timers there who knew Capablanca, because he used to come around to the Manhattan club in the forties – before he died in the early forties.

Manhattan People Player
Steinitz claimed that the King was well able to take care of itself, and ought not to be attacked until one had some other positional advantage. He understood more about the use of squares than Morphy and contributed a great deal more to chess theory.

I don’t recommend trying to cram a lot of long opening-move variations into your head.

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.

I am not today, nor have I ever been a Jew, and as a matter of fact, I am uncircumcised.

Facts Matter Today
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.
BOBBY FISCHER

Fighting Hate Winning
There was open collusion between the Russian players. They agreed ahead of time to draw the games they played against each other. Every time they drew they gave each other half a point.
