The question is why won't you play him? I know the reason. If a 1900/low 2000
player challenges me to a rated match, I know why I might not play him. I will
lose rating points if I lose. It's embarrassing and much more painful to lose
(or even draw sometimes) to a lower rated player. Wining is not as sweeet
against lower rated player (unless you crush him 6 0 or something). I know the
psychology!  I am a chess player, dude. I know what is going through your mind.
But don't post BS about being "busy" and other such nonsense. Don't insult
Pablo. He is a pretty good anti-comp player. You won't play him because you have
everything to lose but nothing to gain. In other words, it's fear. You are
scared. Don't deny t.
