Finely tuned extensions, that finds tactical shots much quicker and don't grow
the tree significantly will give a lot. I don't know how much. 100-200 points
maybe. The difference will be larger when playing computers, than when playing
humans. When playing humans, programs usually lose for positional reasons, not
tactical ones.
