"Women are lousy at chess. They're meant to stay home. I bet I could take any man of average intelligence, a rank beginner, give him around two months of lessons, and have him at the end of that time beat any woman's world champion. Any man." -Bobby Fischer.

Fischer has been a great chess player but as a man he's pathetic.
Half of his babblings are idiotic nonsense,don't listen to what he says.

I'll bet JPW (Ravjello) would love for Bobby to mentor him. That way, he could finally beat skeeter, and rid himself of her dominance over him...
Doubtful he'd want that, but there is a way out, JPW.

Wow, that's terribly insulting. But it's just his opinion, not a fact, so . . 😴

What are you babbling about?
You obviously lack reading skills as I just said that Fischer is a pathetic man.
Move on idiot.

Ouch! You got me. Good retort; didn't even see it coming. Why, oh, why did I ever think I could match wits with one so heavily armed? You win again, JPW. Curses!

"I object to being called a chess genius, because I consider myself to be an all around genius, who just happens to play chess, which is rather different. A piece of garbage like Kasparov might be called a chess genius, but he is like an idiot savant, outside of chess he knows nothing."- Fischer

I want to give a womans point of view from a mans perspective. Or is it the other way around? I wonder if Fisher could have given two months of chess lessons to any woman and have her beat any Womans chess champion? Was Bobby Fisher really insulting woman or just bragging on his chess ability and teaching skills. Bobby Fisher had never met George Bush at the time he made that Quote. What do you want to bet?

Judit Polgar should challenge Fischer to a formal match.
That might give Bobby a reality check.

I regularly see young guys who are very clever feeling cocky about their intellectual gifts. They think that by virtue of their high intelligence their uninformed opinions automatically carry weight. (Maybe we see it here a lot of the time.) I usually hold up Bobby Fischer to them as a great example of how abysmally stupid great geniuses can be in the absence of normal education and life experience.

Reasonably good passport checkers, though, wouldn't you say, Bobby??

I was just wondering whatever happened to Fischer since his arrest in 2004 and found that wikipedia has a great article on him which I'd recommend reading:
