Chess World Cup 2007

Main article: Chess World Cup 2007

The Chess World Cup 2007 ($1.92 million prize fund) took from November 23 to December 16, 2007 in Khanty Mansiysk, Russia. The FIDE World Cup was played on the elimination knockout system, with a total of 128 players competing. If Vladimir Kramnik had won the 2007 World Chess Championship in Mexico City he would have been expected to face Veselin Topalov in a World Championship match format. As Kramnik did not win, he will, instead, have the right to play a match against FIDE's Mexico 2007 world champion Viswanathan Anand, and the 2007 FIDE World Cup's winner (Gata Kamsky) will play a match against Veselin Topalov. The winners of the two matches will face each other in a match to determine the ultimate undisputed world chess champion.^[4]

Xu Yuhua also managed to qualify for the men's World Cup as she had been the reigning women's world champion.

Second stage

The second stage was the Asian Individual Championship held in Manila, Philippines, 1–30 September 2007. (Event.)

Those who did not qualify (as the top 2) in the Chinese Zonal entered the second stage, the Asian Individual Championship. By competing at the Asian Continental Championship tournament more Chinese players could qualify for the World Cup.
