Dreibergs took sixth place at Riga 1930, took ninth at Ķemeri 1939, and took fifth at Riga 1941.
At the end of World War II, joining the westward exodus in 1944/45, he — along with many other Baltic players, e.g. Romanas Arlauskas, Lūcijs Endzelīns, Miervaldis Jurševskis, Leho Laurine, Edmārs Mednis, Kārlis Ozols, Ortvin Sarapu, Povilas Tautvaišas, Povilas Vaitonis, Elmārs Zemgalis, etc., and Ukrainian players, e.g. Fedor Bohatyrchuk, Stepan Popel, Myroslav Turiansky, etc. — moved to the West.
After the war, while living as a D.P. in post-war Germany, Dreibergs tied for 12-13th at Augsburg 1946, and shared first with Zemgalis at Esslingen 1949. Afterwards he emigrated to the United States. Dreibergs won the Michigan Championship twice. He also played in the Correspondence Chess League of America.
