// For a position where the side to move has a winning capture it is not necessary
// to store a winning value so the generator treats such positions as "don't cares"
// and tries to assign to it a value that improves the compression ratio. Similarly,
// if the side to move has a drawing capture, then the position is at least drawn.
// If the position is won, then the TB needs to store a win value. But if the
// position is drawn, the TB may store a loss value if that is better for compression.
// All of this means that during probing, the engine must look at captures and probe
// their results and must probe the position itself. The "best" result of these
// probes is the correct result for the position.
