I read a book lately by Nietzsche and he says religion is just to dull the senses of the people. I agree.
I don't keep any close friends. I don't keep any secrets. I don't need friends. I just tell everybody everything, that's all.
Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind
All I want to do, ever, is play chess.
Nothing eases suffering like human touch.
Most people are sheep, and they need the support of others.
Chess is a matter of delicate judgement, knowing when to punch and how to duck.
Capablanca was among the greatest of chess players, but not because of his endgame. His trick was to keep his openings simple, and then play with such brilliance in the middlegame that the game was decided - even though his ooponent didn't always know it - before they arrived at the ending.
I don't recommend trying to cram a lot of long opening-move variations into your head. The main idea behind any opening is to get a strong pawn center and give your pieces a lot of scope so that you cramp your opponent's position and can attack weaknesses in his game.
Is it against the law to kill a reporter?
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!
Every chess game is like taking a five-hour final exam.
Psychologically, you have to have confidence in yourself and this confidence should be based on fact.
I studied that first Karpov-Kasparov match for a year and a half before I cracked it, what they were doing, and discovered that it was all prearranged move-by-move. There's no doubt of it in my mind.
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 have 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 memorisation and prearrangement like it is today.
I grew up with the concept of freedom of speech. So I'm too old, it's too late for me to adjust to the new world, the new world order.
I was going to do a book about the first prearranged Karpov-Kasparov match, '84-'85. But the God-damn Jews have stolen my entire file on that.
Yeah, I used to dress badly until I was about sixteen. But people just didn't seem to have enough respect for me, you know And I didn't like that, so I decided I'd have to show them they weren't any better than me, you know? They were sort of priding themselves. They would say, 'He beat us at chess, but he's still just an uncouth kid.' So I decided to dress up.
Blitz chess kills your ideas.
Don't even mention losing to me. I can't stand to think of it
I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.
You can only get good at Chess if you love the game
You are never too old to play chess!
I don't listen to weakies.
There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player
