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.

Bobby Fischer Changed his Mind about Women in Chess (1972)
Vera Menchik was not Hungarian, she was a Russian born Czechoslovak
Feels like the question is worded wrong.
Is chess sexists? No
Is chess a male dominated sport? How can woman enter a sport where she will always feel like the outsider.
Great, fantastic and immortal Bobby Fischer!!! Respect forever!!! 👍👍👍
except jews 😂😂😂
They still suck
It just weird to me that we even have womens chess tournaments still. You’d think we wouldn’t have to divide the genders in a game like chess
The ones that scream sexism and racism are the sexists and racists.
Nona <3
That's maturity and learning from his mistakes.
How can there be discrimination in chess
All rules are just logical so if you play good you win 😂
he is quite inconsistent in his views
He was such a 🐂💩ter
He coached Judit Polgar…
If yk how to play on their level, theres no one in the community who would look down on you
This was after he came back from Lake Laogai
That's the most American question that one could possibly even asked someone 🤣🤣
If you don't know much, she was a grossmeister with men, which means she was better than enough men to make her grossmeister
I think chess is the most equal game that both genders can play. It's all mental, and I guess some stuff about stamina can go into it but it's very close to being almost non physical.
bobby is a sigma
Bobby hahaha
Before LGBT movement
I beat kids
nothing wrong with saying that a woman's place is in the home.
Group of Men exists
Americans: whatever you're doing is sexist
Queen gets to jump around the board and king has to move one by one yes its sexist
"we don't have amatuers*
jumps straight to GM level
The only people who can discriminate against you in chess is yourself after losing 300 elo in a row.
Chess nowadays: Bans trans women.
I really don't understand the reasoning for doing so IN CHESS because what advantage would a man have over a woman in chess?
Not sure if he's the right guy to ask whether or not there's sexism in chess
Bobby Fischer's opinion on women in chess was VERY different some years earlier:
