I've played with that idea.

Not sure I'm settled on which stamp to use for the knights.

Fischer didn't mean psychology.  Fischer meant to say cheap tricks.


 People that have an IQ over 180+ like Fisher make such statements at times and it does not mean that they are right, but think about what he really said.

He is saying , I think, that he believes in psychology and denies it to simply have any and all opponents think that only moves are important thereby foregoing a strong tactical approach called psychology, he wants to be the first one to use it in any game and following is astute psy application he has ann edge.


I couldn't understand your second sentence.

I suspect what he meant is that perfect play will beat psychological tactics every time, and in that sense he would be correct.

I have seen some opponents (immature people) trying to play with a psychological touch... sometimes it works... sometimes they just act like JERKS.

 Did he ? I think Fischer understood what 'psychology' meant.
