Depends on how he wants to architect things. Commonly, it is used for any
operation which might fail, including such things as using operator new (and
even file I/O operations for the terminally SEH inclined.)
I can certainly imagine chess engines that perform allocations and other
operations which may fail.
SEH overhead is small. Maybe 1 or 2%.
