In my parallel programming course, and then again in my operating system course,
I give a couple of programming assignments that are under 100 lines long.  But
they are harder than many 1000 line programs, because they have some inherent
complexity that is hard to understand...

Same for chess.  small does not mean 'easy to write'...
