This Wednesday's Xbox Live content release will include Spyglass board games, one of which is chess.
Essentially, you can play chess in real time with an opponent over Xbox live, and it works with the Xbox Live Vision camera.
You can see the squalor of your opponent's living room: the stacked pizza boxes, the rat cowering in the corner, and that stuff on the plate over there that you are to polite to ask about. You can watch your opponent ease their ponderous, sweaty bulk onto a sofa so stained that its original color is lost to time. See them manage their anxiety between moves by eating cake icing out of the can with a spoon, and washing it down (and down the front of their shirt) with a Big Gulp from 7-11 full of Fresca.
Who's with me? Let's run to the store and get one of them Xbox cameras now!

I so need to get that!
-a puppet show with a Lambchop / Henrietta Pussycat theme
-your impression of Senor Wences and his various hand characters
-a series of offensive "yo mama" jokes
-a 2-minute rave, complete with strobes
-an extended nose-picking session

So, I wonder what the odds are that the top person/people on the Spyglass chess leaderboard will just be using chess engines to get there...
