The Russians have fixed world chess.

Ultimately the white man should leave the United States and the black people should go back to Africa.

Genius. It's a word. What does it really mean? If I win I'm a genius. If I don't, I'm not.

My main interest right now is to expose the Jews. This is a lot bigger than me. They're not just persecuting me. This is not just my struggle, I'm not just doing this for myself... This is life and death for the world. These God-damn Jews have to be stopped. They're a menace to the whole world.

The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality.

I have nothing to do with politics. I came here [Yugoslavia] to play chess and nothing else.

Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me...
