Well, I am just implementing something like a deescalation search in Smirf.

Quiescence search has the weakness that it is not looking for end of positional
combinations but only for tactical one. That would lead to the fact that the end
leafs of the search tree will have randomly distributed weaknesses or
strengths in positional view. But finally you only can select between goals
you would define and select at the and of your search tree. And if you have no
to be defined positional stable situations there, it is hard to reach such a
goal.
