Kingpin is a very, very nice magazine
Kingpin is not a chess magazine in the normal sense of the word
Publication of the British magazine Kingpin is always an eagerly-awaited event
very, very entertaining . . . some of the back issues of Kingpin were instant classics
razor sharp
Unpredictable, honest, the funniest
