I Play Honestly And I Play To

Sometimes Girls Write Me. One Girl In Yugoslavia Sent Me A Whole Slew Of Love Letters. I Don't Know How She Got My Address. She Was In A Crowd Watching Me Play. She Says When I Left There The Stars Fell Out Of The Sky Over Yugoslavia, Or Something Like That.

I Don't Believe In Hero Worship.

They're All Weak, All Women. They're Stupid Compared To Men. They Shouldn't Play Chess, You Know. They're Like Beginners. They Lose Every Single Game Against A Man. There Isn't A Woman Player In The World I Can't Give Knight-odds To And Still Beat.

Don't Even Mention Losing To Me. I Can't Stand To Think Of It

Americans Really Don't Know Much About Chess. But I Think When I Beat Spassky, That Americans Will Take A Greater Interest In Chess. Americans Like Winners.
