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

Chess Play Yugoslavia
People have been playing against me below their strength for fifteen years.
BOBBY FISCHER

Fifteen People Years
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.
BOBBY FISCHER

Past Thinking Years
Sometimes girls write me. One girl in Yugoslavia sent me a whole slew of love letters. I don’t know how she got my address. She was in a crowd watching me play. She says when I left there the stars fell out of the sky over Yugoslavia, or something like that.

Girl Stars Writing
Blitz chess kills your ideas.

Blitz Chess Ideas
I’m not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I’m the best. You don’t need a match to prove it.
BOBBY FISCHER

Chess Game Needs World
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

Fighting Hate Winning
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
You are never too old to play chess!
BOBBY FISCHER

Chess never Old Play
I don’t remember one thing I learned in school.
BOBBY FISCHER

One Remember School Thing
First of all, we have to understand what communism is. I mean, to me, real communism, the Soviet communism, is basically a mask for Bolshevism, which is a mask for Judaism.
BOBBY FISCHER

Communism Firsts Mean Real Understand
Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all
BOBBY FISCHER

Chess Genius Morphy Probably
It’s little quirks like this that could make life difficult for a chess machine.
BOBBY FISCHER

Chess Littles Machines
I am not today, nor have I ever been a Jew, and as a matter of fact, I am uncircumcised.
BOBBY FISCHER

Facts Matter Today
Genius. It’s a word. What does it really mean? If I win I’m a genius. If I don’t, I’m not.
BOBBY FISCHER

Mean Success Winning
Steinitz claimed that the King was well able to take care of itself, and ought not to be attacked until one had some other positional advantage. He understood more about the use of squares than Morphy and contributed a great deal more to chess theory.
BOBBY FISCHER

Ought Positional Square Until Use
