In this case what Fruit does is not logical because fruit care to make all
possible moves and unmake them when you only needs to calculate the hash key for
all the possible moves that should be cheaper than making and unmaking the
moves.

I do not understand what you mean when you say that I should refactor my code.

Movei always generates the list of legal moves after making a move.
based on my memory you claimed in the past that having legal move genrator is an
advantage in ETC.

I did not try to use ETC and I know that I should rewrite my hash tables because
I use them in a poor way.
