I have just updated the code (on my repo that contains MVC.hs) so that the 
end of game is now considered a Right value.

So I have introduced the type:
data ScoreBoard = Done Int | Current (Int, Board) deriving (Show, Eq)

and `score` has now this signature:
score :: Int -> Board -> Either String ScoreBoard

These changes have cleaned up the MVC code a bit (for instance it does not 
need to know about `isGameOver` anymore)

`pipeScore` is even more stupid than before so there  must be a better way 
to re-conciliate the APIs.

pipeScore :: (Monad m) => Board -> Pipe (Either String Int) (Either String 
ScoreBoard) m ()
pipeScore =  go
    where
        go b =  do
            for cat $ \x -> case x of
                Left s -> yield (Left s)
                Right n -> do
                    case score n b of
                        Right c@(Current (_, b')) -> do
                            yield (Right c)
                            go b'
                        Right (Done s) ->
                            yield $ Right (Done s)
                        Left msg -> do
                            yield (Left msg)
                            go b


@Patrick, my repos contain the merged code:
https://github.com/PierreR/afgame/tree/master/haskell

I will probably follow your advice about  keeping only one level of loop. I 
still don't get how to apply `right` from pipe-extra though (your 
pipeScore' doesn't compile). I will give it another try as soon as I 
understand this better. Thanks for your help.

Cheers
