I would like to learn Haskell by exploring ideas in chess evaluation development from the statistical and pattern similarity side (rather than simply max ply search).

A very interesting read is: Why Functional Programming Matters http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~rjmh/Papers/whyfp.html The source code in this document is not in Haskell, but everyone, who starts programming in a non-strict functional language, should read it. It also describes a way to write chess programs. Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- http://Van.Tuyl.eu/ http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl/tourdemonad.html Haskell programming --
