This may be a stupid question, but I am feeling a bit LAZY today and wish for others to make the effort.

I have been living solely in the Forums at this site. I never venture out. Is there a LIVE CHAT feature at this site? See, although I like the aspect of thinking before I type in the forums, I feel my REAL talent is going to waste. I have an uncanny ability to think on my feet and would like to have LIVE discussions so that I may further rise above the masses with my verbal prowess.

Anyway, is there a LIVE CHAT without having to actually play a game? 

The meebo chatbar at the bottom of the page. It allows you to chat with anyone on your friends list (you don't seem to have any yet...)

yes there is. When you go to the live chess part you can have a group discussion without playing games.

just a little warning - if you take your troll vomit to live chat and try to hijack that experience... well, you can guess what will happen.

How DARE YOU SPEAK of hijacking. HOW....DARE....YOU.....SIR.

Take a look at what YOU let become of my topic SKILL vs TALENT.

You have allowed it to be hijacked and PERVERTED after I demanded to be allowed to REMOVE it. After I have posted THIS TOPIC IS CONCLUDED time and time again.

HOW DARE YOU!!!!!

But troll vomit on the forums is perfectly acceptable? 

i guess erik thinks so....:(

Love his new avatar!

 yeah and that just made me sick  

teacher_1 has been kicked off the site. Shame.

what r you talking about prawneatsprawn ?

Ding Dong the teacher's dead!

How does one chat live with the person with whom you are playing?

The "Game" tab if you're talking about live chess.
