Nothing is so healing as the human touch.
Bobby Fischer
There are too many Jews in chess. They seem to have taken away the class of the game. They don't seem to dress so nicely. That's what I don't like.
I like the moment when I break a man's ego.
I am boring. I am boring!
All I want to do, ever, is play chess.
There isn't a woman player in the world I can't give knights-odds to and still beat.
All that matters on the chessboard is good moves.
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.
I was never invited to the White House. They invited that Olympic Russian gymnast - that little Communist, Olga Korbut.
I don't believe in psychology.
Nobody has single-handedly done more for the U.S. than me.
Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they're doing in Yugoslavia.
I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.
Chess is life.
I want to see the U.S. wiped out. Death to the U.S.
I consider myself to be a genius who happens to play chess.
I don't want to look like a bum.
Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.
I don't believe in hero worship.
I don't listen to weakies.
The U.S. and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians, just slaughtering them, for years. Robbing them and slaughtering them.
When I won the world championship, in 1972, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, a baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.
I hope the Icelandic government grants me political asylum.
Now my only income is a few royalty cheques from my books.
I was never invited to the White House.
I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.
