 Looking back again ChessBase currently runs a 1972 interview before the two-month match.

http://en.chessbase.com/post/bobby-fischer-on-the-dick-cavett-show.  Fischer gives a quick television lesson right before the Fischer-Spassky Reykjavik match, "Lose the King, lose the game," but since you  cannot capture the King it almost suggests a CV.  He uses "straight" for Rook and may not have known the word 'orthogonal' as alternative. Queen "a very powerful piece." His describing Knight as two straight then one straight is inferior to perception of Knight to oblique nearest squares automatically.  This is really Chess for Dummies.  It is easier for us in wake of Gilman's so many non-radial long-range leapers and also oblique Falcon, claimed first of the four fundamental chess pieces.    Fischer says he actually dreams of detective mysteries not Chess.  He answers Ralph Nader presciently about Chess live tv events, saying just reduce time controls to avoid 3 hours. Also it is second nature to Fischer already 45 years ago that Chess is finite but "beyond the mind's comprehension," he means all at once.
