IMHO, that would be a very poor use of 2 processors. In order to
distribute the search of the 1st two root moves on parallel processors,
you have to omit alpha-beta and would have minmax pure (for the 1st two
root noves). I am afraid that the gain from the 2nd processor would be
almost negligible since you loose very much by giving up alpha beta.
