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

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

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

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

Kingpin is not a chess magazine in the normal sense of the word

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

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

one of my favorite magazines

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

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