prefetch earlier if checKEP is false

Browse Source 
Only a modest amount of work happens between the transposition table prefetch
and the probe, so the probe still often stalls waiting for DRAM. The vast
majority of the time (in particular, if !checkEP), the key is known much
earlier in the do_move function and the latency can be better hidden.
