The best tournament that I have ever played in was in 1950. It was great - a waiter came to you during the game, and you could order anything you wanted to drink (even some vodka, if you liked). Pity, there are no longer tournaments organized in this manner.

I also follow chess on the Internet, where Kasparov's site is very interesting.

In my country, at that time, being a champion of chess was like being a King. At that time I was a King and when you are King you feel a lot of responsibility, but there is nobody there to help you.

When I am in form, my style is a little bit stubborn, almost brutal. Sometimes I feel a great spirit of fight which drives me on.

The Soviet Union was an exception, but even there chess players were not rich. Only Fischer changed that.

After I won the title, I was confronted with the real world. People do not behave naturally anymore - hypocrisy is everywhere.

There is only one thing Fischer does in Chess without pleasure: to lose!
