Bobby Fischer Game Quotations

All that matters on the Chessboard is good moves

I like the moment when I break a man's ego.

I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.

I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves

Chess is war over the board. The object is to crush the opponents mind.

You can only get good at Chess if you love the game

I give 98 percent of my mental energy to Chess Others give only 2 percent

I love chess, and I didnt invent Fischerandom chess to destroy chess. I invented Fischerandom chess to keep chess going. Because I consider the old chess is dying, or really its dead. A lot of people have come up with other rules of chess-type games, with 10x8 boards, new pieces, and all kinds of things. Im really not interested in that. I want to keep the old chess flavour. I want to keep the old chess game. But just making a change so the starting positions are mixed, so its not degenerated down to memorisation and prearrangement like it is today.

I think it's almost definite that the game is a draw theoretically.

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

If I win a tournament, I win it by myself. I do the playing. Nobody helps me

Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind

That's what Chess is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson, the next day he gives you one

I am the best player in the world and I am here to prove it

You have to have the fighting spirit. You have to force moves and take chances

There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player

Tactics flow from a superior position

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

Every chess game is like taking a five-hour final exam.
