I was just reading an article about how the founder of Chatroulette is going to be developing a Chess Chatroulette. Is Chess.com ever going to have video feeds for webcams too?

I hope not, I heard on a song that chatroulette is just a bunch of guys jerking off, is that true? I haven't tried it, out of fear, I don't want to see that.

In chess terms, would that be the same as a bunch of guys playing the Danish Gambit?

I just think this makes a bad idea  (Chatroulette) a whole lot worse.

Webcam (skype style) would definitely be a +, as an option, here on chess.com

Anonymous chess on internet, just like anonymous internet, is sometimes very rude, often selfish, and lacks of humanity.

Chess gains a lot in human interactions, adding psychology, reading the face of our opponent,... or simply making the game nicer. 

It should remain an option' as - i guest like most of the players here - I sometimes play at indecent hours in indecent clothing :)

Yeah, Chatroulette is a bunch of male pervs doing selfish voyeuristic acts for a random audience.
