''Valley News'' reported concerning Bobby Fischer and exercise to increase mental performance:
{{Cquote|Bobby Fischer is revered for his mastery of chess. According to Garry Kasparov, he was a decade or so ahead of his time.
But Fischer was body as well as mind. A teacher, at a summer camp the prodigy-to-be had attended as a child, told me that he had been the best underwater swimmer at a summer camp he attended.
It is hard to think of a sport that Fischer did not try at one time or another. Tennis, baseball, weight-lifting, pingpong and walking (at a world-class level, as a trainer described it) come to mind, in addition to swimming.
His physical efforts complemented his apparently natural high level of energy and stamina. At his best, a glow of health and physical strength seemed to encompass him — the aura probably intimidating many who would oppose him on the chessboard.
Part of his legacy was a conscious and public embrace of the mind-body connection. Until Fischer, that awareness was honored more in the breach than in the actual world of chess at large.
Magnus Carlsen, the current world champion, sounded very much like Fischer of half a century ago when he told Men’s Health magazine: “Training your brain is just as important as training your body. … It’s just like a muscle — if you’re not using it, you can lose it.”<ref>[https://www.vnews.com/Archives/2015/02/e5Chess2218-epk-vn-020815 Shelby Lyman on Chess: Mind-Body Connection]</ref>}}
According to the ''Columbus Dispatch'':
{{Cquote|When he wandered the streets of New York in his teens and 20s, he walked much faster than most other people.
A Yugoslavian sportsman of exceptional endurance and ability confessed to me that he found it difficult to keep up with Fischer.
"Bobby's legs seemed to be stretching out to the horizon with each step," he said.
Fischer might have possessed more than a little athletic ability. A New York teacher remembered him as "the best underwater swimmer" at a summer camp.
At the chessboard, "the kid from Brooklyn" was mercilessly competitive, exhausting his opponents by relentless and prolonged efforts to win.
But his competitiveness could also have a boyish quality, as when he taunted Boris Spassky while they swam in a hotel pool during a 1966 tournament that took place in Santa Monica, Calif.
"I swim faster than you," Fischer told his Soviet foe.
Or when, during the same event, a construction worker overheard him declaring: "I'm going to crush Nadjorf and Larsen! Petrosian doesn't stand a chance. Just wait until I get to play Spassky."<ref>[https://www.dispatch.com/story/lifestyle/2008/07/12/fischer-even-swam-as-if/23622675007/ Fischer even swam as if victory were only option]</ref>}}
