Well if it's that simple just change the above in :

    "The user may not initiate an
    operation via the GUI that will update the same analysis that's running
     in the background."

 

 

     pseudo code for "the play new game option"

1:    disable creating new threads                       You can archieve that by disabling menu_entries which are                                                                                        invokin new threads involving  the analyses function

2:   disable not relevant threads                           Creates more speed

3:   initialise a thread which analyses the

      previous played move

4     play game
     ......

5    if playing done

6:       remove the thread created in 3

7:       enable not relevant threads                        restore the treads disabled in 2

8:       enable creating new threads                      Enable the menu items , disabled in 1
