Great job with the implementation btw! :) I am struggling to understand Referencial Transparency and was looking at how your code eliminates side effects - hence the previous comment.

The only problem with the Exception is that it exits the program - which is a little undesirable. So if you enter something like 1,1 (twice) you get thrown out of the game. It might be better to display an error message and keep the game going.

Your 3rd state (BrokenGame) would work. Basically the Exception is another exit condition from the move method. Wrapping all exit conditions through subclasses of Game makes a lot of sense and removes the need for Exceptions.

so move is a function where:

(game: InProgress[Board], p: Position) => Game[Board]

For any combination of game and p, a Game[Board] is returned.

@ssanj: Thanks for the good words! I also noticed that program exits, when you enter position twice, but was too lazy to fix this :) But now I introduced Broken game state and I love it :). It's simplified move method and I can now pattern match on it. If I will load game from file, I can also return Broken game if board validation fails, and if I will add map and flatMap to Game class I can nicely use in in for comprehension... in other words when I think more deeply about it I see more advantages of new game state compared to exception.

The only thing remains is get rid of this breakable in main application... I don't like it, but I have nothing better. Seems that I need something between foldLeft and map operations - map that gives me previous mapped value as parameters like this:

def foldMap[T, A](initialValue: T)(op: (T /*this value of previous result or initial value*/, A) => T)

But unfortunately I have not found such operation in standard collections...

Line 58: на обе диагонали глядеть надоть :-) а компилятор не выдал ворнингов про unreachable code ?

также думаю, в комментарии стоит включить ссылку на http://blog.tmorris.net/scala-exercise-with-types-and-abstraction/ и формулировку задачи
