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] Qualification Qualification for the FIDE World Cup 2007 for Chinese players occurred in two stages. First stage The first stage was the Chinese Zonal (Zone 3.5) Championship 2007 held in Shandong, 28 April - 6 May 2007. (Event.) China [14] is a member of the Asian Chess Federation (ACF) and competes in Zone 3.5 by itself because it is a relatively strong chess nation in Asia.[15] The top two places in the Chinese Zonal qualified. (Results.) They were Wang Yue (first) and Bu Xiangzhi (second). 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. A total of 72 Asian players competed, and the top 10 places qualified for the World Cup. Thirteen Chinese players competed in this event (seeded in brackets). Five qualified by finishing in the top 10 (Results):
And the eight who did not manage to qualify:
