// updates between threads to and from the TT, as taking the time to synchronize access would cost thinking time and
// thus elo. As a hash table, collisions are possible and may cause chess playing issues (bizarre blunders, faulty mate
// reports, etc). Fixing these also loses elo; however such risk decreases quickly with larger TT size.
//
// `probe` is the primary method: given a board position, we lookup its entry in the table, and return a tuple of:
// 1) whether the entry already has this position
// 2) a copy of the prior data (if any) (may be inconsistent due to read races)
// 3) a writer object to this entry
// The copied data and the writer are separated to maintain clear boundaries between local vs global objects.
// A copy of the data already in the entry (possibly collided). `probe` may be racy, resulting in inconsistent data.
