Consider this game state: [![GameState][1]][1]GameState

d5 captures c6

Quiescence search returns about 8.0 as evaluation because after dxc6 and bxc6 Qxd6 would be played (then Qxd6 by black). A normal player would not play this move but quiescence search includes it in the evaluation and it would result in this end state:[![GameState after quiescence search end][2]][2]GameState after quiescence search end which would result in a huge advantage for black.

Does quiescence search even improve the minimax algorithm?
