Bad architecture

Quiescence search should be an interface object if you do object oriented programming.
Time to rewrite.

For how can you test Quiescence search in isolation?
Yes test it on depth 0 but then you still pass main search.

Other argument is to make it possible to replace it easily using another strategy.

Evaluation is an interface object too but that is old news.

In my implementation Quiescence search using time control and time management to return immediately when time is up.
I don't know if that is really necessary. But it can prevent from losing on time.

quiescence search is just normal search, but only searching the important moves and getting standpat scores.
