Kishore Dev Crowned Wise Guy’s Chess Club Champion of the Month!

Tactics, Turkeys, and Total Dominance at Rivertown Market

Detroit’s Rivertown Market was sizzling with strategy this Thanksgiving season as Wise Guy’s Chess Club hosted its annual “Tactics & Turkeys” Blitz Tournament—and one player in particular carved through the competition with precision sharper than any chef’s knife.

All the way from India and now leaving his mark on Detroit’s chess community, Kishore Dev stormed the Round Robin Blitz battlefield and emerged as Wise Guy’s Chess Club Champion of the Month!

And let’s be clear—Kishore didn’t just win.He devoured the board.

With lightning-fast moves, surgical calculation, and a calm focus that could rival a monk balancing a pawn on his head, Kishore dominated the field round after round. Opponents tried everything—ambush tactics, surprising gambits, endgame traps—but nothing could rattle Kishore’s rhythm.

the end of the tournament, there was no doubt who the king of the board was.

What Did the Champ Take Home?

Winning “Tactics & Turkeys” comes with perks worthy of a Thanksgiving feast. Kishore walked away with:

• A $100 gift card to shop at Rivertown Market—just in time to fill up the holiday table.

• A Thanksgiving turkey fit for a champion’s victory dinner.

• Bragging rights as Wise Guy’s Chess Club’s November Champion.

Not a bad haul for a night of blitz chaos and brilliance.

A Community Favorite, A Growing Legacy

Wise Guy’s Chess Club is no stranger to talented players, but Kishore’s performance was something special. His mix of humility, sharp tactics, and unwavering confidence quickly made him a crowd favorite.

Whether he was calculating a mate-in-three or shaking hands with a smile after a match, Kishore embodied everything that makes our chess community thrive—skill, sportsmanship, and pure love for the game.

What’s Next?

If this tournament is any indication, Kishore Dev is only getting started. With momentum like this, players better start prepping their defenses now—because the champ might just be aiming to build a dynasty.

From Wise Guy’s Chess Club to Rivertown Market, to all the players who showed up hungry for battle (and turkey), this year’s “Tactics & Turkeys” was one for the books.
