Ion Ressu is a backgammon player from Romania who won the World Backgammon Championship at Monte Carlo in 1992, beating John Simon of Great Britain in a field of 234 players. Alvaro Savio of Brazil and Joel Silverman of the United States were the semifinalists. Backgammon Galore lists him as winner of the European Backgammon Championship in 1992 and 1994. Dale Kerr gives his country as Romania, and so does the list of European champions, while the Monte Carlo organisers and the Hall of Fame page list his 1992 title under Switzerland.
