Bobby Fischer

A piece of garbage like Kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he’s like an idiot savant. Outside of chess he knows nothing.

Chess Genius Know Nothing Piece
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.

Decided Dress Priding Themselves
In chess so much depends on opening theory, so the champions before the last century did not know as much as I do and other players do about opening theory.

Normally we’d draw the curtain here, but I just wanted to see what he’d play next.

I would rather be free in my mind, and be locked up in a prison cell, than to be a coward and not be able to say what I want.

Cells Coward Mind Prison
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.

Chess Game Destroy Love People
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.
BOBBY FISCHER

Doubt Moving Years
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.

Chess Game Interested Keep Old Position
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.

This is not just my struggle, I’m not just doing this for myself… This is life and death for the world. These God-damn Jews have to be stopped. They’re a menace to the whole world.

I want to see the U.S. wiped out. Death to the U.S.

Americans like a winner. If you lose, you’re nothing. I’m going to win, though. It’s good for the match that Spassky has a plus score against me. We’ve met five times. He’s won three times and we’ve drawn twice. But I’m a stronger player and a long match favors me.
BOBBY FISCHER

Long Player Winning
If you have seen one Alekhine game you’ve seen them all.

Every chess game is like taking a five-hour final exam.
