To clarify:

the issue isn't about finding the right move (I have no idea
which one that would be), but to see if the program understands
that after gxf6 black is in check.

This move uncovers a check along a different diagonal than the
one where the pawn moves along, and it's also not one going
through the from or to squares. My program doesn't check this;
I never thought it would be possible. Others may have the smae
bug too, especially if you have an optimized incheck function.
