They spoke about Capablanca with awe. I have never seen people speak about any chess player like that, before or since.

Bobby Fischer

I usually never stay at the board after a game. Especially against Spassky. I made a dumb suggestion and he refuted it instantly! I know I’m going to have to play him some day and it was really stupid to look like such a jerk in front of him.

There’s no luck involved in chess. You just have to work at it.
BOBBY FISCHER

Chess Involved Luck
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.

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.

Computers are our only opponents that don’t always have no excuse when losing against me.

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.

I think it’s almost definite that the game is a draw theoretically.
BOBBY FISCHER
