Searching For Bobby Fischer Quotes

Vinnie:
He didn't teach you how to win, he taught you how not to lose. That's nothing to be proud of. You're playing not to lose, Josh. You've got to risk losing. You've got to risk everything. You've got to go to the edge of defeat. That's where you want to be, boy - on the edge of defeat.
Josh Waitzkin:
But...
Vinnie:
But what? Play. Never play the board, always the man. You've gotta play the man *playing* the board. Play *me*. I'm your opponent, you have to beat *me*. Not the board, beat *me*.

Bruce Pandolfini:
Paraphrase: Look at the board, can you see it?
Josh Waitzkin:
I can't see it.
Bruce Pandolfini:
[violently knocks pieces on the floor] Can you see it now?

I'm gonna get myself a tuna fish sandwich. Can I get you a sandwich - ?

Tournament Director:
Ok. I want to remind you to conduct yourselves like adults. I don't want any trouble. You know exactly what I'm talking about. If you're going to watch the game, do so from behind the player. No throat noises. No comments. No eye contact. Nobody cares if you're guilty or not. If you all behave yourselves, I think we'll all have a very good time. I'm not kidding.
Tournament Director:
[walks away]
Parents:
[follows him complaining] My son can't play w/ - My daughter needs her own clock...
Parents:

Tournament Director:
[spins around and shows serious look. Everyone shuts up, and he walks away again]
Parents:
[starts complaining about him] Oh! This is unfair!

Fred:
He's better at this than I've ever been at anything in my life. He's better at this than you'll ever be, at anything. My son has a gift. He has a gift, and when you acknowledge that, then maybe we will have something to talk about.
