| Apr-14-05 | | your brilliance: Thank you <cubsfan>. There is surprisingly little information about Barua on the web. He was actually India's first "chess prodigy" before Anand, but he became a GM (India's 2nd) after Anand. DOB: 10/27/1966. Perhaps some of the other visitors to the site could add more info. |

| Jun-30-05 | | chesswonders: The well known contemporary players from India namely Viswanathan Anand, Krishnan Sasikiran, Pentala Harikrishna, Koneru Humpy all hail from the southern part of India. This guy is one of the few players who's not from south and had been quite a sensation amongst the country's chess lovers, during his peak. He is the second GM from the country. |

| Mar-30-06 | | JASAHA: I had the opportunity to play a friendly game with Debyendu while I was in Kolkata in the 1980's. He gave me a lesson in serious chess play!! I also had a game with he father which I managed to draw. Debyendu would occasionally come to the West Bengal Chess association and play there. I believe he was very strong in Guicco Piano (as well as in other openings). |

| Apr-06-10 | | indianchessupdates: . India's Veteran GM Dibyendu Barua, finished 7th (joint fourth) with 6.0/9 points. He earned around 11 elo points for this performance. http://indianchessupdates.blogspot.... |

| May-18-10 | | harish22: i doubt if he was the first indian progidy. and he was not in running to be the first indian GM anyway. The first indian GM norm was won by Praveen Thipsay, an other non-southern player. Later the shortening of time controls cost Thipsay his game. Barua did have great results at international stage. The win over Korchnoi and gold medal on the second board at Olympaid were his best performances. For some period he performed brilliantly at international stage. But he was not well prepared and was very inconsistent. Even at his zenieth he was the third best indian player after Anand and Thipsay. Very unconventional and handled knights beautifully in some games. |

 | | fm avari viraf: Long time ago, when I was playing my National 'Á' Chess Championship at Calcatta, in 1976, his father brought him [Dibendu] to my table where I was analysing my game with the former National Champion late Mr R.B. Sapre & requested me to play a game with him so that I can give my honest opinion regarding his talents. As our game progressed, he could understand our plans & gave the appropriate replies even at the tender age. I soon concluded that one day, he is going to be GM & bring laurels to our country. My predictions came to reality. |

| Oct-27-11 | | montree: Dibyendu was born in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Later his family migrate to Calcutta. His has an excellent sense of defense, never studied chess openings. I saw him winning against decent players with opening like 1. e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d3 ... |

 | | GrahamClayton: Back in 2019 Barua had a dispute with the Bengal Chess Association, accusing them of embezzlement. He then ran for president of the BCA in the 2020 election, but lost the vote 9-14 to Shantanu Lahiri, a chess coach and elder brother of former BCA secretary Atanu Lahiri. |
