More draws happened in Round 7 of Sinquefield Cup 2016. In fact, all 5 games were drawn. [replay]
What have we discerned from this round? Apparently, Wesley So has yet to beat Peter Svidler in his lifetime.

And Levon Aronian has a sense of humor:

Thus, after 7 rounds, Wesley So still leads the tournament, with 2 more rounds to go:
