GM Dibyendu Barua is the main organizer of the Kolkata GM Open 2018. In this video he tells us about his involvement behind the organization of the Kolkata Open. What is his motivation to organize such an event? Barua also apologizes to the participants of B group for cancelling the tournament at the last moment. Kolkata GM Open 2018 is perhaps the only event in India where so many Indian GMs participate. We asked Barua the reason for the same, and his answer: "I am just very lucky!"
