Does anybody know if it is possible to use Skype and play live chess on Chess.com?  The players could talk to each other as they play.

It probably would work for longer time controls (the webcam function would be a bit on the excessive side), but I don't see why you'd need to chat during a game. Perhaps it would help during post-mortem analysis, though.

When playing a friend, you can also use our internal live chess chat! Just click the mic icon :).

i think the future of online chess is with live webcam, face to face, eyeball to eyeball. i see that we already have a mic icon. so not much of a leap to install a cam icon.
