  Just about any game with an evaluation phase can be done (chess, checkers,
tic-tac-toe).  Just have an alpha-beta search with node rating, and evolve
different ways to rate nodes.  I did this way back with connect-four.

  I think some of the top chess programs already do this.

  I tried this when I first thought of genetic algorithm games.  The problem is
that it has already been thouroughly mapped out, so at best you could only match
what is already known :-(
