Here are a few quotes from and about someone that was as my coach. Bobby Fischer. I hope to inspire everyone! C'mon Zion!!! :)
"The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality." Bobby Fischer.
"Tactics flow from a superior position." Bobby Fischer.
"I prepare myself well. I know what I can do before I go in. I'm always confident." Bobby Fischer.
"That's what chess is all about. One day you give your opponent a lesson, the next day he gives you one."Bobby Fischer.
"Fischer was always looking for the truth on the board." Boris Spassky.
"As soon as he achieves a minimum advantage, he begins to play like a machine." Tigran Petrosian.
"If one may judge a player's strength by comparing him with his contemporaries, it seems to me that Fischer's achievement is unsurpassed. The gap between him and his closest rivals was the widest there ever was between a World Champion and the other top-ranking players of his time. He was some 10-15 years ahead of his time in his preparation and understanding. This could be attributed in part to his dedication to the game, which was unequaled by any other player before or since." Garry Kasparov.
"It is difficult to play against Einstein’s theory." Mikhail Tal (on his first loss to Fischer).
"Suddenly it was obvious to me in my analysis I had missed what Fischer had found with the greatest of ease at the board." Mikhail Botvinnik.
"I respect all the holders of that highest of chess titles, and I’d be interested in having chess encounters with all of them. However, if I had to choose one, then I’d like to play Bobby Fischer. It would be interesting to feel the spirit of rivalry with that man at the chessboard and to come up against his specific chess style." Vasily Ivanchuk.
"Probably Bobby Fischer at his best. Because the precision and energy that he played with is just unmatched in the history of chess. So Bobby Fischer from 1970 to 1972." Magnus Carlsen (After asked, If you could play one of all the players in history, who would you play?).
