<“The leading Soviet players have won many fine victories. Their skill, the high quality of their play, their persistence, tactical abilities and will to win are all well known. Also well known are their modesty and openness. Unfortunate this cannot be said of grandmaster Geller. Having rendered considerable service to Soviet sport, he began to exaggerate this service and become conceited. This gave rise to a disdainful attitude toward his comrades and an unwillingness to consider their opinions.”

The passage was part of an editorial in the 12/1961
issue of Shakmaty v SSSR titled “The Moral Code of the Builder of Communism.” (source: Soviet Chess by D.J. Richards, p. 168).>

Here's one of Geller's more interesting comments on Bobby. In the intro to:

Fischer vs Geller, 1967

he writes:

At that time the "Fischer problem" was undoubtedly not so acute as it was later, but even then it was clear to me that the vulnerable point of the American grandmaster was in double-edged, "hanging", irrational positions. When the play was of this nature, Fischer often failed to find a win even in a won position. It was this that led to the decision to challenge Fischer to a very sharp game, and what's more, in his favorite variation. Players who are clearly devoted to certain opening systems know how unpleasant it can be to "play against oneself" in the purely psychological sense.

In his book <The Application of Chess Theory>, Geller annotates the following games with Fischer:

Geller vs Fischer, 1962

Fischer vs Geller, 1962

Geller vs Fischer, 1965

Fischer vs Geller, 1967

Fischer vs Geller, 1967

In fact, part 2 of the book is <Against World Champions>, which, aside from a couple of draws with Tal, are all his wins against former/current/future WCs (roughly three dozen games). He only had a minus scores against Spassky (the "minus" score against Tal mentioned in the book was "erased" by a couple of games played after the book was published).

A couple of losses to a relatively unknown Romanian named Bela Soos:
