What do you mean by "not even a real [[Quiescence Search|quiescence search]]"?
I searched 5 plies and *quit*. I did use a [[Static Exchange Evaluation|static exchange evaluator]] to determine if the tip moves were safe. This was searching under 100 [[Nodes per Second|nodes per second]] on a machine that was rated at .7 MIPS. This program finished in a 3-way tie for 2nd at the [[ACM 1976|1976 ACM]] computer chess tournament, but the following year I was "exhaustive"... :)
