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

Kingpin is often pretty controversial too, with many an allegation or insinuation strewn amongst its pages.

Scurrilous, funny, sometimes serious, sometimes libellous

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

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

Unpredictable, honest, the funniest

unquestionably the funniest chess magazine in the world

irreverent and entertaining

Aside from being funny, Kingpin is often pretty controversial too, with many an allegation or insinuation strewn amongst its pages
