Baba Sy was an African international draughts player and the first world champion from Africa.
He is said to have been "discovered" by an American player visiting Dakar in 1959.

In 1962 Germany organized a "big game/party", he was the only Senegalese and only African. He played against 150 players simultaneously spending few seconds per table. Several champions are part of the "big game/party" and he is declared the winner. By some accounts he is said to have beat each of the 150 players, in other accounts the results were 122 wins, 33 draws, and 5 loses. In either case, a remarkable achievement.

During the 1963–64 World Championship, a controversial dispute arose between him and Iser Kuperman, and the final match was not played. The championship title for this competition remained unresolved at the time of Baba Sy's death (car accident) in 1978. He was posthumously declared the victor in 1986. The matter caused some debate over the years.
After dominating the international draughts scene for many years, Sy died in a car accident in Dakar, the capitol of Senegal. However, he remains a legendary cultural icon in Senegal as well as Europe and the draught-playing world.

He is sometimes seen as a pioneer who paved the way for other African players.
