Press Conference

But even you must concede he can play
Sure, he’s the best red on the circuit. I’ll give him that
He hasn’t lost for a long time
He could be a tough nut to crack
Listen, if he gets one game off me, it’s because I want to keep press interest
going
Why do you persist with vicious attacks
Ungracious remarks re opponents?
It smacks of a lack of conviction
Admit you’re under duress
And that your only skill left
Is for money, not chess
If Soviet life’s as grim as you claim
Then how come their boys are so good at the game?
Though you swear the American dream is clearly the best
You’re no advertisement for life and times in the West
Why did you risk the whole match breaking down?
I don’t know what you’re saying. What are you implying?
All your outrageous demands, your conceit
I don’t see anything outrageous about demanding what I’m worth
They pay all that you ask for
And then you demand even more
I am the reason you’re all here. Who had heard of Sergievsky?
It’s hard to believe
What we’re reporting
Why so disparaging?
Not very sporting
Are the Communists sporting? My God!
Tell all this to the
United Nations
Are you an asset to
East-West relations?
What is this? What have the Russians ever done for East-West relations?
Have you people any serious questions?
Will you be quitting for good if you lose?
How come your second’s a girl, lover boy?
What did you say?
How come your second’s a girl, lover boy?
Well, what did I say? He’s out of his tree
He’s finally flipped and between you and me
He’s no hope of retaining his crown in his frame of mind
In fact, he shouldn’t have come here, he should have resigned
Well, what did I say? He’s out of his tree
He’s finally flipped and between you and me
He’s no hope of retaining his crown in his frame of mind
In fact, he shouldn’t have come here, he should have resigned
Smile, you got your first exclusive story
Now you can bask in his reflected glory
«Naked, unprovoked Yankee Aggression!»
Oh, what a credit to your great profession!
If he is in this frame of mind
He should be dumped
He should be resigned
Well, what did I say? He’s out of his mind
He’s finally flipped, he should have resigned
