As Minsky has said, parallelism isn't worth a damn thing if you don't have better heuristics to prune the search space.
If you have a million processors to play chess with, and your search tree still has a branching factor of thirty, you're only looking two moves ahead.
The human mind is amazing because our pattern-matching-based search heuristics are great.
