Jess,
My vote: Spock
I would likely lose to all of the fictional characters within 10 moves. I play chess badly.
Are you limiting your choices to biological beings or are fictional AI characters eligible for your poll? If AIs are eligible, then:
For you consideration:
HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) aboard Discovery
HAL plays a game of chess against Dr. Frank Poole
Sadly, there are no images on IMDb showing the game. This is the closest image I found:

Frank plays chess with HAL aboard Discovery

I'm not as rusty as I thought at chess, I have gone up 231 points in chess.com today. However, I'm a bad loser, I don't play against stronger than me. So my vote is Ron.

If you consider shorts/animation, Geri from Geri's Game (1997) (imdb.com)

I love this poll. There are so many good characters who are such skilled players, too, and I'd lose to all of them, I'm sure, but I'd learn a lot and have a great time with most of them. My choice would probably be House. <3
Great title, btw.

Serious FYI: Ein, the genetically-enhanced corgi stolen from a secret lab from the anime, Cowboy Beebop.
