Subject: Static Exchange Evaluation (SEE) for pruning in quiescence (?)

Author: Omid David Tabibi

It seems that some programs use Static Exchange Evaluation in order to prune
losing captures in quiescence search. In the following position, an SEE will
deem the move 1.Rxd7 a losing capture, and it might get pruned in quiescence.
However, in fact this is a winning capture since Qf6 is attacked after 1.Rxd7.
How do such programs solve these kind of problems?
