More From Arthur Conan Doyle

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 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.

Like dvoretsky, i think that (all other things being equal), the analytical method of studying chess must give you a colossal advantage over the chess pragmatist, and that there can be no certainty in chess without analysis. i personally acquired these views from my sessions with mikhail botvinnik, and they laid the foundations of my chess-playing life.

I started playing chess when i was about 4 or 5 years old. it is very good for children to learn to play chess, because it helps them to develop their mental abilities. it also helps to consolidate a person's character, because as it happens both in life and in a chess game we have to make decisions constantly. in chess there is no luck and no excuses: everything is in your hands.
Children Character Hands
To be secure everywhere is the mark of sophistication, to be unshakable is the mark of courage, to be permanently in love with every person is the mark of masculinity or femininity, to forgive is the mark of strength, to govern our senses and passions is the mark of freedom.
Passion Forgiving Unshakable
But the thing that was great about capablanca was that he really spoke his mind, he said what he believed was true, he said what he felt. he [capablanca] wanted to change the rules [of chess] already, back in the twenties, because he said chess was getting played out. he was right. now chess is completely dead. it is all just memorisation and prearrangement. it's a terrible game now. very uncreative.

A good friend of mine took me out and had me hit off a tee. he made me understand what was my strike zone and - with my speed - the importance of making contact. so i give him a lot of credit for changing my game and making me the player i became. he showed me how to work on me and my game, and not worry about patterning myself after someone else and focusing on what they were capable of doing rather than what i was capable of doing.

I feel that i've worked with a lot of interesting people, and i have no regrets. i'm just curious about what i might have done if i'd had people in my life then who did explain what the publicity game was.

You can't come in smugly and with great self satisfaction and say 'oh it's torture, and therefore it's no good.' is it really so easy to determine that smacking someone in the face to determine where he has hidden the bomb that is about to blow up los angeles is prohibited in the constitution? it would be absurd to say you couldn't do that. and once you acknowledge that, we're into a different game.
