I suspect _everyone_ is going to have "terrible parallel overhead" using that
many
processors.  But that isn't the issue.  They were capable of doing 1B nodes per
second.
If they only did 10% of that it is _still_ way beyond anything running today...

Lack of null-move is not a known deficiency.  I can name a pretty successful
program
or two (commercial) that didn't rely on it...
