I'd ask him if he wanted to play basketball. I don't see much point in asking him for chess advice. I probably already know what he'd tell me and he doesn't know me. I could learn something from playing against him, but I could probably learn a similar lesson from playing my chessmaster game, against GM characters that have a similar style, which have an elo very similar. I think he might think there isn't much point in trying to play chess with me either.
