skype is so easy to use and cost nothing onely for a mike and vido cam for a p c

Yes i'd agree with this guy because i've got a web cam with built in microphone and I just use my speakers instead of a headset

Hi Miss Dolly, I trust you are well? I use Skype to talk to my Mum back home on a weekly basis and have been a regular user for quite a few years now. What I do is either go to the Skype website or any major electrical retailer, possibly Best Buy over here and they will have a line of Skype recommended products. What I would say is before going out and buying a cam AND headset, check the cam because many come with built-in microphones which makes talking a lot better; after a while, headphones become a real bore.

Skype doesn't always have the best reception though it's a whole world better than it used to be, and a million times preferable to yahoo. But it's free!! And you can't complain really about that.

I'm not sure if this would help playing chess unless you pre plan a meeting on live play I guess. Anyway if you need to know, or if you think I can help just ask okay?

Not strictly true because you can type between yourself and your friend ...

Not sure how to do it yet.  Have to get a Mike first, I think...

Have you added your friend to skype?

Yes! 

Have you already downloaded skype?
