[Haskell-cafe] Re: [Haskell] Haskell Chess

[Andrew Wagner]

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.
