the gutter press of chess

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

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

Kingpin is a very, very nice magazine

combines an amusing style with solid instruction

unquestionably the funniest chess magazine in the world

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

irreverent and entertaining

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

Its rather coarse satirical manner may not appeal to everyone – just the majority of us who enjoy sharp games and low humour
