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

the ‘Private Eye’ of the chess world

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

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

very, very entertaining

Utterly irreverent . . .  genuine wit . . . good instruction for club players

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

very, very entertaining . . . some of the back issues of Kingpin were instant classics

Please, do people really believe what they read in Kingpin? I am amazed! It’s like taking a satirical show and mistaking it for the news

unquestionably the funniest chess magazine in the world
