one of the very few chess publications that call a chess spade a chess spade

very, very entertaining . . . some of the back issues of Kingpin were instant classics

Scurrilous, funny, sometimes serious, sometimes libellous

the magazine I most enjoy . . . Gary Lane’s agony column is a must for all chess addicts

Kingpin is not a chess magazine in the normal sense of the word

[its] satirical nature and penchant for sharp games makes it compulsive reading for the average club player

leaves my game shiny, manageable, natural looking

A great English chess favourite

an entertaining, irreverent chess magazine that takes you over to the lighter side with verve and panache

It seems to me that you haven’t quite achieved the manic, off-the-wall style of humour that Informator manages so well, but you run them a pretty good second
