Robert James "Bobby" Fischerwas an American chess grandmaster, the eleventh World Chess Champion. Many consider him the greatest chess player of all time.

Americans really don't know much about chess. But I think when I beat Spassky, that Americans will take a greater interest in chess. Americans like winners.
Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.
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.
Different people feel differently about resigning
I like the moment when I break a man's ego.
I give 98 percent of my mental energy to Chess Others give only 2 percent
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.

I tried to apply what I learned in the church to my chess career too. But I still was studying chess. I wasn't just "trusting in God" to give me the moves.
The white people should go back to Europe, and the country should be returned to the American Indians. This is the future I would like to see for the so-called United States.
Hopefully, I'll be out of this stinking hole soon,
I want to see the U.S. wiped out. Death to the U.S.
