I originally used a more general approach (probably similar to the one you refer to), but kicked generality out in favor of simplicity. In teaching one should probably just discuss this aspect, but stay with the simple approach (I'll add a note to the wiki page :-)). In contrast, for the real Haskell world such a library would be great. One could even use an abstract game specification and compute the corresponding core (if existing and
computation being feasible according to the complexity of the game).

Two-Player-zero-sum games are very library friendly kinds of games. However, interesting "other" games are probably too diverse to be pressed in a general framework, aren't they?

Steffen,
I've done some chess AI programming in the past, so I'd be happy to
help with this project. I have some pretty fundamental design
suggestions that I'll write up for the wiki page.

As a spin-off, will there grow some library for general strategies in
board games, like those described in "why functional programming matters"?
