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.

You know I'm finished with the old chess because it's all just a lot of book and memorization you know.

When I was eleven, I just got good.

I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.

Yeah, there are too many Jews in chess. They seem to have taken away the class of the game. They don't seem to dress so nicely, you know. That's what I don't like.

I really love the dark of the night. It helps me to concentrate.

It is time to finish off the U.S. once and for all.
