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.

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 believe in wasting time. My goal is to win the World Chess Championship; to beat the Russians. I take this very seriously.

Championship Chess Game Seriously
America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they’re doing in Yugoslavia…

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

My opponents make good moves too. Sometimes I don’t take these things into consideration

Chess Game Mistake Moving
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.

Don’t even mention losing to me. I can’t stand to think of it

Chess Game Losing Thinking
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.

Believe Night 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.

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

I have nothing to do with politics. I came here [Yugoslavia] to play chess and nothing else.

The system set up by F.I.D.E. … Insures that there will always be a Russian world champion… The Russians arranged it that way.

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