I just published a new version of Andscacs, 0.872:
http://www.andscacs.com/andscacs0872.zip
It's the one playing at TCEC stage 3.
Changes:
* Improved various evaluation parameters.
* Solved little bugs.
* Improved pawn evaluation.
* Improvements on king safety.
* Speed improvements.
* Improved time management.
* Improved some endgames.
* Improved move sorting.
* Improved imbalances.
Is not much better than 0.871, maybe 5-10 elo. From 0.86189 that played at TCEC stage 2, maybe 15-20, I'm not really sure.
I will explain in detail in the programming section the changes from 0.86. I don't expect it to go to TCEC superfinal
I don't plan to publish any new version soon.

Re: Andscacs - New version 0.872
We expect Anscacs be at least #4. Next year at least #2 and within two years #1.
Otherwise we will be extremely disappointed.

I forgot to mention that this version is already playing in Division 1 of Graham:

When Daniel polish some details, will be more up.
How I have read in the chat their efforts of tests are many, makes lack many good computers to try all the ideas.
It is difficult.
