You should feel lucky today usually I let people do their own googling. Found this at timeanddate.com

EST is 5 hours behind of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

So the matches start at 1300 UTC or 1 PM UTC which is 8 AM EST.

I live in pacific...they start at 5:00 a.m. for me.  I've actually been getting up at 6:00-6:30 to watch the games.  I click through the opening coverage on Chessdom.com (whose servers seem to be having a little trouble handling the demand being placed on them as a result of this week's coverage of Topalov-Kamsky and Linares, as well as all those Wesley So fans screaming for coverage of his games at Aeroflot) and generally catch up to where the players are in the game fairly quickly.
