And if you only knew which captures were useful and which not, you'd solve the
game from the root position too.  Oh wait, isn't that what the SEE does?
So why shouldn't you also have a static check-evaluator?  Of course it wouldn't
be perfect, but it might be good enough to let you do checks in the qsearch
without blowing up the tree too badly...
