I want to see the U.S. wiped out. Death to the U.S.
The U.S. and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians, just slaughtering them, for years. Robbing them and slaughtering them.

Hopefully, I'll be out of this stinking hole soon,

There are too many Jews in chess. They seem to have taken away the class of the game. They don't seem to dress so nicely. That's what I don't like.
I don't want to look like a bum.
Maybe I should publish the book. The world is coming to an end anyway!
I'd like to travel around, be an international playboy. They have all that money; they could really do it right. Look at (Errol) Flynn.
I have never opened with the QP - on principle.
Well, I'm not sure I know what you mean by a prima donna, but if something doesn't interest me or if someone bores me, or if I think they're a phony, I just don't bother with them, that's all.
Now my only income is a few royalty cheques from my books.
I love the game - and I hate the Russians because they've almost ruined it. They only risk the title when they have to, every three years. They play for draws with each other but play to win against the Western masters. Draws make for dull chess, wins make for fighting chess.
I was never invited to the White House.
