===Pronouns===
Chess literature has traditionally used the masculine third person pronoun when referring to an impersonal or hypothetical player, e.g. "Black should play ...d5 to free his king's bishop.". This style of writing is increasingly considered dated. However, editors are encouraged to consider alternatives to simply substituting they/their/them where he/his/him occur, as this tends to distract attention from the point being made.
