Okay, I see you point, but what you have done here _is_ to paralize it !?
In a way I think this is what they are talking about when they say a parallel
can be faster than a serial.
However, as I said before and as you have also written several times,
this only works when move ordering is reversed.
If you want to make the serial faster, reverse the move ordering and wupti, your
serial is 2x as fast!
