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.
BOBBY FISCHER -
My main interest right now is to expose the Jews. This is a lot bigger than me. They’re not just persecuting me.
BOBBY FISCHER -
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 -
Computers are our only opponents that don’t always have no excuse when losing against me.
BOBBY FISCHER -
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 -
I don’t recommend trying to cram a lot of long opening-move variations into your head.
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.

I don’t care! I don’t have to show anybody my games just because they’re a big shot!

BOBBY FISCHER -
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
BOBBY FISCHER -
As Olafsson showed me, White can win… It’s hard to believe. I stayed up all night analysing, finally convicing myself, and, incidentally, learning a lot about Rook and Pawn endings in the process.
BOBBY FISCHER -
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 -
Chess is war over the board. The object is to crush the opponents mind.
