combines an amusing style with solid instruction

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

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

one of my favorite magazines

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

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

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

the ‘Private Eye’ of the chess world

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