CONTAINING LINKS TO 1280 STORIES FROM THE NETWORKS' NIGHTLY NEWSCASTS
     COMMENTS: Fernando Squared

There was nothing not to like about CBS' closing feature for its Assignment America series. Steve Hartman showed us the legacy of JJ Guajardo, the legendary chess teacher of Brownsville Tex, who launched his program in 1989 and "soon it seemed like every kid in town was into chess." So meet the dueling Fernandos, fourth grade finalists at the state championships: Fernando Mendez and Fernando Spada. "The kids have been archrivals since kindergarten." Hartman asked the second-place Fernando about his victor: "Do you ever wish he just got amnesia and forgot how to play chess?" "No--because there would be no point of me playing chess. Nobody would give me any real competition."
