Bob H., you are a Professor.  For the sake of discussion, suppose you are
teaching a college course on how to modify single-processor chess engines to
multi-processor chess engines.  Suppose this is the first, or second, day of
class.  Suppose you wish to give the students a preview of the course content .

What would you tell your students?
