In the chess satire stakes @KingpinEd are masters of the art form … a veritable feast: irony, sarcasm, hyperbole

attractive zany humour

a must-read for everyone who doesn’t take chess too seriously; it’s especially a must-read for everyone who does take chess seriously

Both serious and funny, I recommend it to anyone who wants to smile as he reads

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

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

the gutter press of chess

Unpredictable, honest, the funniest

those who are unfamiliar with Kingpin are missing out on a real delight: there are many good chess magazines around, but in my opinion Kingpin is the best out there

a new kind of whiteness I never thought possible with my old Chess Magazine – and without boiling
