The hash table is used for both cases.

a) I saw this position before -- searched to at least the depth I want to search
to now -- so I can return the score that is stored in the hash table.

b) I saw this position before -- but searched not as deeply as I want to search
it now -- so I grab the best move, and search it to the current depth.
