At the time of The Queen's Gambit's release, New York Times critic Harold C. Schonberg (as well as other reviewers) likened Tevis's protagonist to the chess prodigy Bobby Fischer. At age 15 in 1958, Fischer became one of the youngest people ever to become a grandmaster. By 1972, he became a world champion. But soon after, Fischer would withdraw from competitive chess altogether, succumbing to a reclusive lifestyle and notably becoming paranoid in the '70s. Prior to isolating himself, Fischer made "outlandish demands on tournament directors," according to The New York Times. He wanted "special lighting, special seating, special conditions to ensure quiet." Fischer also worried that opponents were poisoning his food and bugging his rooms.

When he occasionally re-emerged, his inflammatory comments about Jewish people and America overshadowed his legacy. And while he may be an inspiration for Beth, he's also been known for his past dismissive remarks about women, saying, "There isn't a woman player in the world I can't give knight-odds to and still beat." (He later claimed that his words were distorted and taken out of context.) Fischer passed away in 2008 after having kidney failure.
