It doesn't have to be today, but I'll be up for a game around this time for a little more than a week.
"this time" = UTC 5:00 AM
am rated 1585 but a 2500 can't beat with a piece down.. especially if the time is 10+ incremental

Ok Farm Hand. Whenever you are ready...but time control is 5|5, ok? And could you tell me your time in GMT? I’m not sure what UTC is. This is going to be so fun!

I am not 2500, I cant beat 1500 with a piece handicap. 
Sorry, Farm Hand! Internet connection was no good. However, I’m not really sure when will be a good time to play. Tomorrow I am very busy throughout, and would most prefer to play from 0:00-2:00 p.m. UTC, but you aren’t online then, right? Unfortunately I have a lot of homework when you are around. Exams are coming, and better to prepare for that, right? If you could somehow manage to log in when I am playing (said time) then that would be great. I will be playing for at least one straight hour. As for strategy...just hang TWO pieces. That should work well.
Ok. We will play at least 5 rounds of 5|5. It may take a few days to complete the test. 2 rounds of Farm dropping a knight. One where I am black, and one where I am white. And two where he drops a bishop. Finally, one where he drops 3 pawns. And lastly, if he somehow completely out plays me in all rounds, one where he drops one whole rook! Two rounds of that! All rated! We will post the games here too! (Or maybe in a different thread).
@cyboo , you and I have exactly the same time zone. 
I can usually play most of the day between 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.
Position, Knight drop (as mentioned by Farm Hand) , it is your preference, it is ok for me .
Unrated
Time setting - 1 /0 or 1/1 or 1/2 or 2/0 or 2/1 or 3/0 whatever you prefer.
No of games, 4 games. (may consider more later)

@cyboo I can do that time, but not until next week.
I don't know a good way to start a game down 3 pawns, and usually the odds giver gets to move first (plays white). Anyway if you and drmrboss do it first I'll have a better idea of how the games start.

I was looking at some Morphy games where he gives knight odds, but I'm not sure what the best strategy is. He was doing stuff like sacrificing even more material right away to get a big crazy attack. If I could see all the tactics Morphy could that would probably work, but since I can't I'm still not sure how to play games like this heh.
Obviously the game shouldn't be boring. I'll just lose in the endgame. The question in my mind is whether it's better to go crazy like Morphy, or just go a little bit crazy (like, maybe, always castle opposite sides) 
Can the games be rated? haha, that seems unfair, but I mean, ok, sure.
What time control do you want?
