Now that we have a pseudo move generator and the ability to scan for attacked squares and check conditions, we can implement a legality move filter.

To check for legal moves, we can first simulate the potential move and then check for legality in the new position. The main question is whether or not moving the piece leaves the player's king in check or puts it in check.
