Rounds 6 to 7: 14th and 15th of August, when the games starts at 1pm local time, except the last round, which begins at 11am.
1pm Moscow = 11am Paris = 10am London = 5am New York = 2am Los Angeles = 9pm Sydney
No draw offers before the time control at the 40th move. I believe that this will become standard practise in future in big events, rather than banning draw offers altogether!
