You're right! In my case this is a translation problem (partially), but "he"
would be wrong in german too. The reason is probably that I was used to refer to
chess computers as "he" (in german), and still do not have adapted to programs
being "it" most often.

I'm in a constant process of improvement (at least I hope it :o).
