Subject: Question: Quiescence()

Hi,

In the quiescence(),I noticed that most programs generate
only the captured move  then evaluate and return.
Suppose a position at depth==0,quiescence() is called
and white to move,there is only one captured move QxP
which is stupid sacrifice and answered by PxQ then
no more captured move found. So,the evaluation() return
a very bad score for white which is not correct because
QxP is generally not a forcing move and should be avoid
if possible.  Do u agree?
Thanks in advance.
