So stays at helm

WIJK AAN ZEE, Netherlands – After pulling off back-to-back victories, top seed GM Wesley So settled for a draw against No. 10 seed WGM Dronavaili Harika of India in the seventh round of the 71st Corus Chess Tournament at the De Moriaan Community Center Saturday.

The draw, however, was enough for the 15-year-old Filipino champion to keep a share of the lead with third seed GM Tiger Hillarp Persson of Sweden.
