Nakamura offers a draw when his opponent's time is running | Nakamura vs Giri

At the World Blitz 2019, Hikaru Nakamura made his move, pressed his clock and when Anish Giri began to think, Nakamura offered a draw.

According to the FIDE Arbiter's Manual rule 9.1.2.1 - "A player wishing to offer a draw shall do so after having made a move on the
chessboard and before pressing his clock."

It means that Nakamura should have offered the draw before pressing the clock. However, the rule further states - "An offer at any other time during play is still valid but Article 11.5 (article related to disturbing the opponent) must be considered."

What is your opinion about the draw offer? Did you ever face a situation when you were deep in your calculations and your opponent offered a draw? How did you react then? Let us know in the comments section below.
