I play honestly and I play to win. If I lose, I take my medicine.
I am the best player in the world, and I am here to prove it.
FIDE has decided against my participation in the 1975 World Chess Champion title.
I love the game - and I hate the Russians because they've almost ruined it. They only risk the title when they have to, every three years. They play for draws with each other but play to win against the Western masters. Draws make for dull chess, wins make for fighting chess.
Maybe I should publish the book. The world is coming to an end anyway!
Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...
