What? The way he's doing it works better, because you don't try a bunch of
ridiculous null moves, hash lookups, internal iterative deepening, extensions,
etc. etc., or code to check that it shouldn't be done. Anything that is done in
your main search that should be done when in check in qsearch can be coded in.
Going back into the main search is the cheap way out, IMO.
