Bobby Fischer

Chess Everybody Friend Needs Secret Something
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.
BOBBY FISCHER

So if you just brought them back from the dead they wouldn’t do well. They’d get bad openings.
BOBBY FISCHER

Back Brought Dead Opening
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.
