I give 98 percent of my mental energy to Chess Others give only 2 percent

I don't listen to weakies.

He is the so-called father of the modern school of chess; before him, the King was considered a weak piece and players set out to attack the King directly. Steinitz claimed that the King was well able to take care of itself, and ought not to be attacked until one had some other positional advantage. He understood more about the use of squares than Morphy and contributed a great deal more to chess theory.

Morphy was probably the greatest genius of them all

I don't like to dwell on the past. I'm interested in Fischerandom now, I am working on a new clock, I'm trying to make chess a more exciting game today. I am not interested in sitting in my rocking chair thinking what I did 10, 20 or 30 years ago.

I'm not afraid of Spassky. The world knows I'm the best. You don't need a match to prove it.

Now my only income is a few royalty cheques from my books.
