Bart Brooks is winner of the 1974 European Championships at Monte Carlo, now called the World Championships, and won many lesser tournaments in that time. Shortly following Monte Carlo, he had a twenty year hiatus from backgammon but has returned, arming himself with the computer knowledge which every expert makes use of today.

In the few tournaments he manages to visit, he has done well. He recently won the Championship Division Consolation of the Las Vegas Open (November 2005) and won the Championship Division of the Los Angeles Open (June 2007).
