2: FRED WAITZKIN has written two books about chess. His first, "Searching For Bobby Fischer," is about his young son Josh's gift for chess. The book was made into a movie of the same name, starring Joe Mantegna as Fred Waitzkin, with Laurence Fishburne and Ben Kingsley. Waitzkin's latest book is called "Mortal Games." It's a portrait of the world chess champion Garry Kasparov as he prepares, in 1990, to defend his title against sworn enemy Anatoly Karpov.
