What if you fail low, do you still save the move or do you store 0 as usual?
If you stored a flag indicating one move only, you wouldn't need to do check
evasion the second time round.

In fact if you probe before you incheck, you could even store an incheck flag,
saving you the incheck call entirely. Flags are cheap you know, at one bit only
