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.

    You’re allowed to grow and develop I don’t know why you think people can’t fucking do that

    Crazy that trans women are getting banned from chess for…. Some reason lmao

    Huge Georgian socialist republic victory Noma Gaprindaschwili greatest female chess player of the Soviet Union

    Wait he thought lisa lane was dead?? Why?? 😂😂😂😂 can we talk about that??

    and yet to this day reports of sexual harrassment at chess tournaments continue to come out – "no discrimination"

    "Is chess a sexist game?" Sir the queen is the best piece

    The game itself literally cannot be sexist. Some people might make sexist rules for competition however.

    She can play on the black and white squares as long as she is home on time to cook on the black and white squares

    And yet women will refuse to play other women in chess tournaments… Make it make sense.

    This guy looks just like one of patrick batemans coworkers. The guy from the 2003 hulk who pokes him with a cattle prod like a dumbass

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned that he sounds identical to Ryan gosling and has the same smile as him.

    This is what it means to play from both sides

    Oh boy, this fucking guy, let me get the Behind the Bastards episode about him

    Poor Dantes s14 haven't been treating him nice. He will enter Joker arc 😢

    And now they're saying trans women cant compete against cis women cause they have an unfair advantage. Didnt realize being born with a dick automatically made you better at chess

    Technically the world chess championship is unisex and then there's a separate women's only league. Most women don't play with men for a variety of different reasons but they could play if they wanted to.

    Correct me if I'm wrong

    I don’t think chess should be divided via gender

    Lol this guy has some interesting opinions now a days

    Should’ve asked him what he thinks on women cooking

    "… Childrens, any one welcome!… "

    It is a sexist game in the way that no woman has ever been close to being the best.

    Chees tournaments are actually so bad female chess players need to be physically protected from men playing chess

    "Sure women can play chess. They just don't win."

    He was clearly joking around when he said all those things against women in chess at the other video. People didn't get his sense of humor.

    Yea he had a character development arc but wait til he has something to say about Jews 😂

    Sexism was and still is VERY prolific in chess.

    If women were any good at chess why do they get a separate league?

    Chess is one sport where little kids can beat full grown man senseless. So i wouldnt expect chess players to have much prejudice about who would be good at chess.

    Chess is one of those sports where your sex gives no advantage or disadvantage. You're either good at it or you aren't regardless of who you are

    Dang… that’s a 180. In the previous video I felt really sorry for him… it’s like he thought women were a different species.

    And yet they’ve banned ALL trans people from competing

    Any distinction between men and women is always designed to favor women. This has always been the case. The reason there are women leagues in sports is to give women a fighting chance to win, that's all. Women exclude men, not the other way around. The reason people view it the other way and act as if men are sexist against women shows the extreme amount of misandry that's out there these days. It's gotten so bad that we don't even recognize it as such anymore.

    Now he is not being honest anymore freedom of speech taken away by higher authorities

    Bobby fisher was also openly a Neo Nazi and was a horrible racist. We should not idolize this man.

    Maybe he didn't see it, but i absolutely there are a lot of dumb insecure men who'll deny a woman a win just because she's a woman; certainly most at his time, for sure.

    Claiming there's no sexism doesn't make it so. It is a staple of the male experience to lack a full grasp of sexism because they're almost never at the short end of the stick.

    What a nice man i wonder what he thinks of jews

    Makes me feel better about today’s world, seeing that these retarded questions existed for a long time

    This guy is hilarious…"i welcome some girls in chess haha…i think you said she was dead…shes around" lol. 😂

    Yeah this is called PR, dude is being forced to say this by his sponsors, just like modern day celebs.

    It's not sexist to suggest women's minds aren't naturalky wired to be tactical. That's just biology
