Andscacs - New version 0.90

[cdani]

I published a new version, 0.90.

Changes:
* Improved various evaluation parameters.
* Solved little bugs.
* Speed and move search improvements.
* Improved pawn hash.

Later I will publish the detailed changes.

I expect at least 15 elo improvement. It depends mostly on how well scales some late week improvement.

I solved also some bugs of ponder mode, so I expect some bigger wins in tournaments with ponder.

I also have a new website, done by a friend. Thanks to him!!

I have implemented syzygy in a previous version but seems that sometimes crashes, so I have disabled it. I will try to review this for the next version.

Ah! Haven't realized it. Will be interesting to see. Did you have any crash that you can recall? When crashes, Andscacs generates a .dmp file.
Anyway I expect to solve this at some point.

Andscacs with EGTB will avoid such games like this one. Much time will not be wasted.

Andscacs can't resist the tablebases
