Karpov, Kasparov, Korchnoi have absolutely destroyed chess by their immoral, unethical, prearranged games. These guys are really the lowest dogs around, and if people knew the truth about them, they would be held in more contempt than Ben Johnson, the runner, and they're going to know the truth when I do this book!

America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they're doing in Yugoslavia...

I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident.

There's no luck involved in chess. You just have to work at it.

FIDE has decided against my participation in the 1975 World Chess Champion title.

When I was eleven, I just got good.

In chess so much depends on opening theory, so the champions before the last century did not know as much as I do and other players do about opening theory. So if you just brought them back from the dead they wouldn't do well. They'd get bad openings.
