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.
From Bobby Fischer
I want to see the U.S. wiped out. Death to the U.S.
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.
Nothing is so healing as the human touch.
Chess and me, it's hard to take them apart. It's like my alter ego.
I hate ready-made suits, button-down collars, and sports shirts.
I don't remember one thing I learned in school.
The U.S. and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians, just slaughtering them, for years. Robbing them and slaughtering them.
All that matters on the chessboard is good moves.
I like the moment when I break a man's ego.
