7d Prolong no win situation before striking (4,4) D?A? O?T Is it DRAG OUT or DRAW OUT? Or neither!!
11a Opening gambit's beginning with a pawn (3) G?P Please explain why it is GAP - know opening is a gap so where's the gambit?

Drag imo

7d Draw out - 'draw' (no-win situation) + 'out' (striking)
11a Gap (opening) - 'g(ambit)' (opening) + 'a p(awn)'

[ubasses]

Draw (no win)
G(ambit) A P(awn)

[gangesboy]

first letter of Gambit + a (p)awn

Thank you all. I nearly didn't do a query as was going to settle for Drag OUT!!!

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