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

irreverent and entertaining

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

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

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

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

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

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 new kind of whiteness I never thought possible with my old Chess Magazine – and without boiling

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