Andrzej,
I'd love to hear some of your thoughts on these things. I agree with
you about brute-force not being the best approach in haskell (or maybe
at all). I think we should switch to haskell-cafe, since that's where
much of this discussion has gone, and that's more for extended
discussions anyway.

Didactic it may be but brute force on search trees means in Haskell problem with garbage collection. So students may build a punch but loose a street fight.
Instead of using Haskell as a hammer I would rather explore what monadic programming can offer in terms of encapsulating constraints, heuristics, modal logic or agents. Chess is a human game so why not use computing along this line and employ Haskell on humane terms? The force is with us!
Cheers, -Andrzej
