Robert Fischer citáty

Robert James Fischer známy aj pod menom Bobby Fischer bol americký šachový veľmajster.

Slávnym sa stal ešte ako tínedžer vďaka svojim šachovým schopnostiam. V roku 1972 sa stal prvým americkým šachistom s titulom svetového šampióna. Po víťazstve nad Borisom Vasilievičom Spasským získal vtedy rekordný predinflačný rating 2785. Roku 1975 odmietol obhájiť tento titul po tom, ako FIDE nesúhlasila s jeho podmienkami, takže ho bez boja získal Anatolij Jevgenievič Karpov.

Napriek vážnym psychickým ťažkostiam, predčasnému dôchodku, antisemitizmu , sektárstvu a pod., bol Robert Fischer geniálny šachista a zaslúžil sa o nebývalý rozvoj a popularitu šachu na Západe. Wikipedia

Robert Fischer: Citáty v angličtine

“Jews hate nature and the natural order, because it's pure and beautiful, and also because it's bigger and stronger than they are, and they feel that they can not fully control it. Nature's beauty and harmony stands in stark contrast to their squalidness and ugliness, and that makes them hate it all the more. Jews are destroyers. They are anti-humans.”

Radio Interview, February 19 2005 http://www.geocities.jp/bobbby_b/mp3/F_31_2.MP3I studied that first Karpov-Kasparov match for a year and a half before I cracked it, what they were doing, and discovered that it was all prearranged move-by-move. There's no doubt of it in my mind.Now chess is completely dead. It is all just memorization and prearrangement. It’s a terrible game now. Very uncreative.

“They can't concentrate, they don't have stamina, and they aren't creative. They are all fish.”

“I grew up with the concept of freedom of speech. So I'm too old, it's too late for me to adjust to the new world, the new world order.”

“Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me, I really believe this. When I won the World Championship in '72, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country. I turned all that around single-handedly”

Kontext: Look at all I've done for the US. Nobody has single-handedly done more for the US image than me, I really believe this. When I won the World Championship in '72, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country. I turned all that around single-handedly, right? But I was useful then because there was the Cold War, right? But now I'm not useful anymore, you see, the Cold War is over, and now they want to wipe me out, steal everything I have, put me in prison, and so on.
