The first chess-related work of fiction that comes to mind is "The defense", by Nabokov. The main character is similarly obsessed with chess and comes to see everything in terms of chess. There's a movie adaptation called "The Luzhin defense", with John Turturro and Emily Watson, which I thought was OK.
The best chess-themed movie I've ever seen is "Black and White Like Day and Night": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078211/

It's fiction, but loosely based on Bobby Fischer.
