How about games in general (more specifically, two-player zero-sum
games)?  Check out section 5 of:

@Article{	hughes-why,
  author	=3D "John Hughes",
  title		=3D "Why Functional Programming Matters",
  journal	=3D "The Computer Journal",
  year		=3D 1989,
  volume	=3D 32,
  number	=3D 2,
  pages		=3D "98--107",
  url		=3D "http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~rjmh/Papers/whyfp.html",
  abstract	=3D "As software becomes more and more complex, it is more
  and more important to structure it well. Well-structured software is
  easy to write, easy to debug, and provides a collection of modules
  that can be re-used to reduce future programming costs. Conventional
  languages place conceptual limits on the way problems can be
  modularised. Functional languages push those limits back. In this
  paper we show that two features of functional languages in particular,
  higher-order functions and lazy evaluation, can contribute greatly to
  modularity. As examples, we manipulate lists and trees, program
  several numerical algorithms, and implement the alpha-beta heuristic
  (an algorithm from Artificial Intelligence used in game-playing
  programs). Since modularity is the key to successful programming,
  functional languages are vitally important to the real world."
