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

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

leaves my game shiny, manageable, natural looking

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

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

If more people read this magazine then it would have a higher circulation

combines an amusing style with solid instruction

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

Scurrilous, funny, sometimes serious, sometimes libellous

In Kingpin, nothing is sacred, and this makes Kingpin such a hit
