KingPin magazine

  I discover that not everyone knows about this excellent magazine; perhaps it might be described as the Private Eye of chess, and while it shares that splendid periodical's irreverence KingPin also has (fairly) serious articles, book reviews and so on. Regular features include: IM Gary Lane's "Agony" Column, GM Nigel Davies - "The Voice of Reason," "Great Swindles of Our Time," "Hack Attack," and Edward Winter's "Forum."
[The highly esteemed Steve Rix is also a fan and several of the links below are direct to his site.]

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

-- IM William Hartston, The Independent

"A whole new whiteness I never got from my old chess magazine - and without boiling... "

-- Stephen Fry
