Ok yes, I just generally think of making moves and generating moves as one big
"move generation" phase. Misleading I agree, not sure if there is a better word.

There shouldn't be any penalty for actually "generating" new moves if everything
is handled in the makemove, it might even bring a little speed up.

Yes because your implementation was poor, but now where it is faster makemove
should be a small part since you skip the leaf ones.
