7d,Draw out
11a.Gap (initial letters in clue)

Drag imo

7d Draw out - 'draw' (no-win situation) + 'out' (striking)
11a Gap (opening) - 'g(ambit)' (opening) + 'a p(awn)'
Draw (no win)
G(ambit) A P(awn)
first letter of Gambit + a (p)awn

Apologies, the 2nd "(opening)" should have been (beginning) - I know you knew that, just wanted to correct myself :-)
