A professional chess player?
No; not someone who would leave a rook hanging.
That answer deserves +1's.

I mean, if he was really a professional he wouldn’t leave a rook hanging either.

Known primarily for scientific or technological work?
Nah. Something else that would be asked in the same breath as politics.

Awesome! When you said, "Something else that would be asked in the same breath as politics," I went to the common "political or military leader" question. Whether Prigozhin was really a "military leader" is debatable, but he came immediately to mind.

The connection between Julia Child and Prigozhin did not occur to me. Funny I got both of those. I guess I like food.

Next game going up presently.

I think he actually left much more than just a rook hanging
