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 -
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 -
In chess so much depends on opening theory, so the champions before the last century did not know as much as I do and other players do about opening theory.
BOBBY FISCHER -
They’re lying bastards. Jews were always lying bastards throughout their history. They’re a filthy, dirty, disgusting, vile, criminal people.
BOBBY FISCHER -
I like to make them squirm.
BOBBY FISCHER -
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 -
There’s no luck involved in chess. You just have to work at 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 -
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 -
The white people should go back to Europe, and the country should be returned to the American Indians. This is the future I would like to see for the so-called United States.
BOBBY FISCHER -
When I used to go to the Manhattan Chess Club back in the fifties, I met a lot of old-timers there who knew Capablanca, because he used to come around to the Manhattan club in the forties – before he died in the early forties.
BOBBY FISCHER -
I’m not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I’m the best. You don’t need a match to prove it.
BOBBY FISCHER -
I was never invited to the White House.
BOBBY FISCHER -
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.
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 -
A strong memory, concentration, imagination, and a strong will is required to become a great Chess player
BOBBY FISCHER -

BOBBY FISCHER -
I’d like to travel around, be an international playboy. They have all that money; they could really do it right. Look at (Errol) Flynn.
BOBBY FISCHER -
I was going to do a book about the first prearranged Karpov-Kasparov match, ’84-’85. But the God-damn Jews have stolen my entire file on that.
BOBBY FISCHER -

BOBBY FISCHER -
Nothing eases suffering like human touch.
BOBBY FISCHER -
Americans like a winner. If you lose, you’re nothing. I’m going to win, though. It’s good for the match that Spassky has a plus score against me. We’ve met five times. He’s won three times and we’ve drawn twice. But I’m a stronger player and a long match favors me.
BOBBY FISCHER -
I don’t keep any close friends. I don’t keep any secrets. I don’t need friends. I just tell everybody everything, that’s all.
BOBBY FISCHER -
Well, I kind of split my life into two pieces. One was where my chess career lies. There, I kept my sanity, so to speak, and my logic. And the other was my religious life. I tried to apply what I learned in the church to my chess career too. But I still was studying chess. I wasn’t just “trusting in God” to give me the moves.
BOBBY FISCHER -
I don’t remember one thing I learned in school.
