Bobby Fischer Changed his Mind about Women in Chess (1972)

In an earlier interview, former World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer said that women are terrible chess players, should be kept out of intellectual affairs and stay at home cleaning. In this interview from 1972, shortly before his World Championship against Boris Spassky, he seems to have changed his opinion somewhat.

    He seems like the kind of person to have very binary opinions and having had his original opinion disproved he likely pivoted to a large degree.

    oh i welcome them to tournaments… only makes the mens winning pay day bigger

    Chess is very open, we have amateurs and women and dogs

    Bro is secretly an agnostic, it's like he doesn't really have an opinion, he'll fake his opinion based on his choice and tbh, I can relate to him.

    Of course they’d welcome women. None of these nerds were getting laid.

    It was cuz the dopamine ruah after he won the world cs

    It would've been more respectable that he recognized his previous position on this topic was completely diametrically opposite to this modern sunny disposition regarding the gender of chess players.

    they made him talk like this cause its not a good look for the top us chess player saying that stuff

    Men and women are so equal in chess that they need separate divisions to account for the disparity in their skills, LOL.

    HEHEHE HEHEHE he destroyed to them in interview to HEHEHE HEHEHE

    Nona gaprindashwili is a georgian chess player and im from georgia too, she is a very talented player and i feel very nice that bobby actually mentioned her

    Isn't this guy a white supremacist or something?

    Also Fischer: "It appears woman are just not as smart (as men)." 😭

    Glad that he got a at least a bit of a character development.

    “They’re welcome, but I’d still dunk on them in chess”

    Bobby Fischer is one of the rare GMs I look up to

    That's a bit disturbing to see in 2024… that they've been pushing this sexist nonsense since the 70s, and from being into the transsexual fun type stuff, it shocks me that they transition to avoid being gay… I'm sure it's different and varies from case to case, but as a whole… it's jarring to deal with someone claiming to be woman without the sex as when men and women mature their secondary sex traits kick in as they go into puberty… and that's where the contention comes into play, i feel adults have the freedom to choose, but the transitioning at younger ages is being pushed without the understanding that people should mature into their secondary sexual traits before being peer pressured into this irreversible trend of transgenderism… sorry for my rant, it's just feels like the left or lgbt are purposely playing into the fears of right wingers… and that sets their cause back years.

    Lol
    "She is a very good player –
    She played tournaments with men!"

    He still seems like a complete tool to me

    -Queen is the most powerful piece on the board
    People: thats sexist! 😂

    There is sexism in all areas of life so …
