Mickey drew with Mamedyarov in round 1 then beat MVL on time in round 2 - other games drawn, so he is in the lead (football scoring being used, so he has 4 points)

I can't find a safe link to the live games, my computer doesn't like the one on the official website

Mickey drew with black today against Aronian whilst MVL beat Mamedjarov. I've been following the games on http://chessbomb.com/site/ along with various other events.

Another solid draw in a difficult black against Mamedjarov, MVL-Aronian is a crazy position.
