There is nothing wrong with making moves that are illegal, and then at the next ply you capture the king and return a value that says "that move was illegal, ignore it." Or you can check for in check after a move... It doesn't matter as far as playing legal chess goes, it simply becomes a matter of efficiency and how you want to write the search code.
