BOBBY FISCHER

Believe Night Winning
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

Black Color Play White
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.
