You could start by going insane.
That was Fischer's technique.
How do I study like Fischer?
Sort:
I fail to see how he was ''insane''. as someone else said his political views were different but that doesn't mean he was ''insane''. Give me a example of his insanity when he was playing chess.

Research which books he used and use them as intensely as he did. Research and learn some Russian and Serbian and subscribe to publications or copy publications of games played around the world. This is easier today. Join a chess club and almost live there. Drop out of school at 16 and spend all your waking hours studying the board. Seek out the best players and play against them. Carry a pocket set with you and use it often. Learn thousands of games - memorize them - so you recreate key positions and patterns from each. Do your own analysis ... learn from your losses - they have more to teach you than your victories - they are the friends who try to tell you what you are doing wrong

He was not insane. Some of his political views were repugnant to me but his chess was pure. His anti Semitic views hurt him - he never tried to hurt others

Giving all his money to a scam "church" and believing that Jews secretly controlled the world is not a political view, it's stupid / crazy.

''Research which books he used and use them as intensely as he did.''. As much as I'd like to do this I researched for a while but nothing suggests any hints or stuff as to what he read. ''Research and learn some Russian and Serbian and subscribe to publications or copy publications of games played around the world.''. Got it thanks! ''Join a chess club and almost live there.'' ok. Drop out of school at 16 and spend all your waking hours studying the board, Since I am 17 I couldn't quite fit this. but I am going to drop outta school 
. Seek out the best players and play against them. For this i'll go to stimulations to play gms regularly thanks again! Carry a pocket set with you and use it often. I already do this . Learn thousands of games - memorize them - so you recreate key positions and patterns from each. Do your own analysis ... learn from your losses - they have more to teach you than your victories - they are the friends who try to tell you what you are doing wrong. Thanks I will now try to fit every requirment

Have you read the transcript of his phone interview with that Philippines radio station? According to Fischer, the Worldwide Jewish Conspiracy broke into his locker and stole a lot of his stuff.
This is not a question of political views or political correctness. It's a question of mental illness.

Bobby Fischer was mentally sane. He was an all-around genius.
You can be a genius and mentally ill, if you don't believe me ask John Nash, a mathematical genius who suffered schizofrenia (IDK how to spell that and I'm fed up of looking the spellings of words).

the bunny can only answer where do you study like fischer: everywhere.
and blindfold
ok they hadn't come up with waterproof smartwatches then ...
What's the chess book bobby is reading in the second picture?
Looked at it closely for a bit and It's probably fake. two pawns are on h6 g6 and the queen bishop and the queen is gone white has moved to d4 and h3.

Those aren't mutually exclusive.

Fischer was certainly not an all-around genius.
He was a genius at chess. Period.
In other respects... politics, interpersonal relations, science and math, art, history and sociology, religion... he was utterly naive. Read some accounts written by people who knew him for decades, such as GMs Larry Evans or Olafssen.

Her mom did say he had an "astronomically high IQ", IMO he was an ignorant on those topics because of his lack of education, IIRC he did not finish highschool.

High school teaches nothing IMO. I learn more from a book than high school lol
