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.

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.

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.
