More From 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 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.
Games Chess Game People
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
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.
Play Different Genius
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.

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.

She and i just don't see eye to eye together. she's a square. she keeps telling me that i'm too interested in chess, that i should get friends outside of chess, you can't make a living from chess, that i should finish high school and all that nonsense. she keeps in my hair and i don't like people in my hair, you know, so i had to get rid of her.

Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. all this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.

I never considered i might make a career out of writing as i was going to school, so when i did turn my attentions that way, i was very ill prepared, having only what i read as a guide, and no formal training whatsoever. i credit that very ignorance with a great deal of my success.

In the sex education process in schools, the one thing that they teach about is how to get pregnant and how to not get pregnant. but they don't really talk about sex as a point of pleasure for women.
Sex School Pleasure
The dueling maturity levels in high school is such a source of comedy to me. i was always such a late developer. i was last to walk. i was last to ride a bike. i was last to have sex. that's why it's fun to portray one side of your childhood onscreen.
