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

Bobby Fischer

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

Mean Phony Thinking
Teach people to play new chess, right away. Why do you offer them a black and white television set, when there is a set in color?

Black Color Play White
They spoke about Capablanca with awe. I have never seen people speak about any chess player like that, before or since.

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

Chess Genius Know Nothing Piece
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.

Games Play Stupid
Nothing is so healing as the human touch.

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
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.

Chess Game Interested Keep Old Position
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

Games Half Player
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
The Russians have held my title for ten years and they’re going to be in for it when I win the Championship. They’re going to have to wait and play under my conditions.

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.

Is it against the law to kill a reporter?

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