American GM Wesley So (2760) held Dutch GM Anish Giri (2798) to a draw with the black pieces and kept his lead after two rounds at the Bilbao Masters 2015.
Indian ace GM Vishy Anand (2803) could not make any progress against Chinese GM Ding Liren (2782), and also settled for a draw. Wesley, who had earlier beaten Ding in the first round, leads the pack with 4 points. Anand and Giri follow the American with 2 points apiece while Ding occupies the bottom spot with only 1 point. The tournament follows an idiosyncratic point tallying format, known as the Bilbao Scoring System, awarding three points for a win, one for a draw and nought for a loss.
