Hi Shravee!
I am really sorry to inform that I won't be available this week.

Can you please send three more IGOs and then we can finalise.

@Sriaravindh-A
Why don't you make your 3 IGOs as per The Rules, my friend?
- (3.2) The first player to enter the FD must make at least 3 Initial Game Offers (3 IGOs) to the opponent. See the definition of an IGO at ...
Given your opponent lives in UTC - 4, it means that he will have to play before noon (local) and you, before yo go to bed. You guys are 9.5 hours apart. The challenge is to make your NPT (Normal Playiing Time) and his overlaping. Here's this to help.
Thus, the NPTs collide between 11:00 UTC and 15:30 UTC. This means between 16:30 UTC and 21:00 UTC (your time) = 7:00 UTC and 11:30 UTC (his time). You guys have a 4.5 hours window. As a reminder, we define NPT as "starting a slow LIVE chess game anytime between 7:00 local and 21:00 local.
@shravee

Yes. We can finalise.
