    I’d guess he would be a mediocre player I would lose to. Chess was actually highly regarded as a mind sport in the USSR and even taught in schools. And even if Putin is stupid, there are ways he can ensure I would never win (placing the chessboard on his side of his long table and getting me shot by security if I attempt to approach it).
