Who is being described below?

"Before taking a hiatus from backgammon to play other games
professionally, [he] was a world-renowned Grandmaster, who was a top
pick in the legendary “Denmark versus the World” matches.

In truth, he never really left backgammon but didn’t hit the spotlight for some years.

Now he is making a public re-emergence with this stellar title!"
