Patzer sees a check, gives a check. (Bobby Fischer)
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it. View quote
Bobby Fischer
You know I'm finished with the old chess because it's all just a lot of book and memorization you know. View quote
Bobby Fischer
When I was eleven, I just got good. View quote
Bobby Fischer
Our mind is all we've got. Not that it won't lead us astray sometimes, but we still have to analyze things out within ourselves. View quote
Bobby Fischer
The United States is an illegitimate country, just like Israel. It has no right to exist. That country belongs to the Red man, the American Indian... It's actually a shame to be a so-called American, because everybody living there is a usurper, an invader taking part in this crime, which is to rob the land, rob the country and kill all the American Indians.

Sometimes girls write me. One girl in Yugoslavia sent me a whole slew of love letters. I don't know how she got my address. She was in a crowd watching me play. She says when I left there the stars fell out of the sky over Yugoslavia, or something like that. View quote
Bobby Fischer
Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they're going to know the truth when I do this book!

Bobby Fischer
I can remember times coming home from a chess club at four in the morning when I was half asleep and half dead and forcing myself to pray an hour and study (the Bible) an hour. You know, I was half out of my head-stoned almost. View quote
Bobby Fischer
I object to being called a chess genius because I consider myself to be an all around genius who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. 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. View quote
Bobby Fischer
I love chess, and I didn't invent Fischerandom chess to destroy chess. I invented Fischerandom chess to keep chess going. Because I consider the old chess is dying, it really is dead. A lot of people come up with other rules of chess-type games, with 10x8 boards, new pieces, and all kinds of things. 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 memorization and prearrangement like it is today. (Bobby Fischer)
I have never opened with the QP – on principle. View quote

I like the moment when I break a man's ego. View quote
Bobby Fischer
America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they're doing in Yugoslavia... The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense are dirty Jews. View quote
Bobby Fischer
Jews hate nature and the natural order, because it's pure and beautiful, and also because it's bigger and stronger than they are, and they feel that they can not fully control it. Nature's beauty and harmony stands in stark contrast to their squalidness and ugliness, and that makes them hate it all the more. Jews are destroyers. They are anti-humans. View quote
Bobby Fischer
(The Worldwide Church of God) cleaned my pockets out frankly. I have some money left, but not that much. I've got some assets. It's amazing they didn't get everything. Now my only income is a few royalty checks from my books. I was really very foolish, but I thought I was doing what I had to do. When I sent those checks off, I really didn't have the slightest qualms, no regrets, not the slightest. I don't really regret it that much, to tell you the truth, even now. View quote
Bobby Fischer
They can't concentrate, they don't have stamina, and they aren't creative. They are all fish. View quote
Bobby Fischer
I'm very concerned because I think the Jews want to drive the elephants to extinction because the trunk of an elephant reminds them of an uncircumcised penis. I'm absolutely serious about that... Jews are sick, they're mental cases. View quote
Bobby Fischer
Church members shouldn't let themselves be confused. They begin not trusting in their own judgment, and then they're finished. That's a terrible, terrible thing. First, they get conducted in with a nice sweet program, no money, everything free, free, free. And then they get sucked in, and suddenly a few lies get mixed in. They are told that their human nature is wicked and these nice people who gave them all these things wouldn't be lying to them, would they? And then I think once you start distrusting your own mind you're finished. From there you just get more and more confused. Once you think that your own mind is not your friend any more-your own conscience and your own mind is not your friend-then I think you are on your way to insanity. You have been stripped bare. All your defenses are gone. View quote
Bobby Fischer
They have nothing on me, those guys. They can't even touch me. Some people rate them better than me. That really bugs me. They think that no Americans play chess. When I meet those Russian patzers I'll put them in their place. View quote
Bobby Fischer
I suggest rather than fraudulently misrepresenting me to be a Jew .. you try to promote your religion on its own merits--if indeed it has any! (Bobby Fischer)
Knowing what I do about Judaism, I was naturally distressed to see that you have erroneously featured me as a Jew .. I am not today, nor have I ever been a Jew, and as a matter of fact, I am uncircumcised. View quote
Bobby Fischer
Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa. View quote
Bobby Fischer
I don't remember one thing I learned in school. View quote
Bobby Fischer
I know people who have all the will in the world, but still can't play good Chess. View quote
