The idea behind check extensions is to increase the accuracy of our evaluation. Currently, StockNemo, while avoiding pruning whatsoever when under check, doesn't really push to get an accurate evaluation. The idea behind check extensions is that when under check, StockNemo will evaluate the tree deeper, making its overall move choice and evaluation much more accurate. Furthermore, since there is a limited number of moves when under check, it means one does not have to worry about search explosion.
