I actually paid good money for No.9

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

If more people read this magazine then it would have a higher circulation

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

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

Publication of the British magazine Kingpin is always an eagerly-awaited event

uses impiety and parody to hew down the conventions of publishing, even including mock testimonials

sharper than a bone-saw!

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

the ‘Private Eye’ of the chess world
