Vidit Gujrathi drew with World No. 4 and second seed Fabiano Caruana to stay in joint lead after two rounds of the Masters section of the prestigious Tata Steel chess tournament at Wijk aan Zee, near Amsterdam, on Sunday.
The 23-move draw following a three-fold repetition of moves saw Vidit in the company of World champion Magnus Carlsen (Norway) and Jan-Krzysztof Duda (Poland) at 1.5 points.
R. Praggnanandhaa (1) followed his first-round draw with Anish Giri with another impressive draw against Duda. In this 40-move deadlock, the Indian youngster matched his much stronger rival move for move.
