I probe also in Qsearch, but without good caching this sure has
some risks.

Note when i didn't probe in qsearch that diep drew several games
at icc because of this against hossa.

The idea is that if you have a good working transpositiontable with
for example a search of 11 ply now which you store everywhere, then
a few seconds later you get into a similar position with 9 ply, then
you get a bunch of true hash hits.

So you need to either handle that, not have true bounds, or simply
also probe in qsearch!!
