He was the subject of the popular book, "Searching for Bobby Fischer", written
by his Father, Fred Waitzkin. Josh was a chess prodigy as a child and was
coached by the popular chess writer, Bruce Pandolfini. He's now an IM, I
believe. The book was made into a film called '"Something" Moves' (I think the
"Something" is "Innocent", but I'm not sure).
