Inane remarks about the WTC are hardly out of character for Bobby Fischer, as this revolting interview with an 18-year-old Fischer demonstrates.

“Lisa Lane has said-and lots of other people agree-that you’re probably the greatest chess player alive.”

“That statement is accurate, but Lisa Lane really wouldn’t be in a position to know. They’re all weak, all women. They’re stupid compared to men. They shouldn’t play chess, you know. They’re like beginners. They lose every single game against a man. There isn’t a woman player in the world I can’t give knight-odds to and still beat.”
