Both files in this commit exhibit use after free errors.

One of them was introduced in my memory leak fixing (whoops). I was freeing
a structure of stock data before one last call to it. So switching the free
to after that call fixed it.

The kcheckers.cpp fix is one where the game board could be deleted and then
a new one is not created because someone attempted to request a game board
type that is not supported. This is fixed by using the default directive for
one of the game board types in the switch statement. Which means it could
default to Russian boards. Score one for the Russians!
