Don't forget turning it all off buys you a lot of depth and that surely matters.
I once tried it for fun in a blitz match against crafty and suddenly Tao started
to push Crafty in a corner again and again. But at some point Crafty saved
itsself via a series of checks. Result overall worsened somehwat without
extensions, but less than you would expect. And that was Blitz, at extremely
long time controls it might be even closer.
