Currently stuck at the "Now logging. Please wait..." screen. Can't wait to see this in action since the rest of the site is so great 
Though I've not seen it in action, some things I'd like to see are:
- Auto annotation
- Both "tournament" (no take backs, no hints, etc) and "practice" (take back requests, etc) games
- Visitor/Observer options
- Chat between players and an option to enable chat with observers
- Multiple timing options
- Position set-up (for playing certain game set-up scenarios)
- Some type of save option for games to pick up and go later
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'll update the post once I see it in action/if I have any more ideas.

Ok. Everyone on the site has been really patient with the PLAY part of Chess.com ;) We know that is really important. So, I want to show a VERY VERY early sneak-peek at the Live Chess coming to Chess.com. It is in pre-pre-alpha phase, has VERY limited features, many bugs, and is nowhere near done, but it should at least give you some BASIC idea of what to expect in the future.
We will quickly be adding ratings, time controls, move list, yada yada and a whole bunch of other expected features. While it may look like we are a long way off, the foundation/groundwork is done, and that is the hard part, so everything should move a lot more quickly from here.... except that there is really only 1 person working it at this time, and he is going on a much-needed vacation for 2 weeks, so you won't see any improvements for a little while :)
PLEASE DO NOT POST BUGS! We know about the bugs :) What we WOULD like to hear are feature requests!
Again, it is very simple, very buggy, but have fun with it!
