razor sharp

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

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

some of the most varied, sometimes most interesting, and certainly least inhibited chess writing available today

irreverent and entertaining

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

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

I actually paid good money for No.9

Unpredictable, honest, the funniest

The joy of chess is nowhere celebrated to such climactic excesses as in Kingpin
