The '''Chess World Cup 2007''' served as a qualification tournament for the [[World Chess Championship 2010]]. It was held as a 128-player [[single-elimination tournament]], between 24 November and 16 December 2007, in [[Khanty-Mansiysk]], Russia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ugra-chess.ru/eng/press.html|title=Chess in Khanty-Mansiysk|access-date=2007-11-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071111085541/http://www.ugra-chess.ru/eng/press.html|archive-date=2007-11-11|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In an event attended by most leading players of the world, American [[Gata Kamsky]] emerged as the winner. He was unbeaten in the tournament, going into tie-break only once and defeating [[Spain|Spaniard]] [[Alexei Shirov]], 2½–1½, in the four-game final. Two 17-year-old players, [[Sergey Karjakin]] and [[Magnus Carlsen]], reached the semifinals.

By winning, Kamsky qualified for the Challenger Match, the final stage in determining the challenger for the [[World Chess Championship 2010]]; his participation in that match allowed him direct entry into the [[Candidates Matches]] for the [[World Chess Championship 2012]].

The final four also received direct entry into the [[FIDE Grand Prix 2008&ndash;10]], a qualifying stage for the [[World Chess Championship 2012]].

The winner of the [[Chess World Cup 2005]], [[Levon Aronian]], was defeated by [[Dmitry Jakovenko]] in the fourth round.

==Background==
The 2007 World Cup was part of the cycle for the [[World Chess Championship 2010]]. [[Gata Kamsky]], as the winner of this tournament, played an eight-game match against [[Veselin Topalov]] in 2008, for the right to be the challenger for the [[World Chess Championship 2010]]. Ultimately Topalov won the match and faced World Champion [[Viswanathan Anand]], who successfully defended his title against former champion [[Vladimir Kramnik]] at the [[World Chess Championship 2008]].

==Prominent non-participants==
[[Vladimir Kramnik]] and [[Veselin Topalov]] were ineligible to participate, due to special privileges they already had in the 2008&ndash;2010 World Championship cycle.

All other leading players, including world champion [[Viswanathan Anand]], were eligible to participate. However Anand, who was already seeded into the 2008&ndash;2010 cycle, elected not to play.

Three other players who had recently competed in the [[World Chess Championship 2007]] in Mexico – [[Péter Lékó]], [[Aleksandr Morozevich]] and [[Boris Gelfand]] – elected not to play. Lékó and Morozevich refused to take part as a form of protest against the special privileges given for the inclusion of Kramnik and Topalov in the World Chess Championship Cycle.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4214 |title=Morozevich: "I cannot play without motivation" |date=25 October 2007 |accessdate=2007-11-28 |publisher=[[Chessbase]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3983 |title=Leko's manager Carsten Hensel: "the privilege that Topalov is getting, to play against the winner of the World Cup or to immediately challenge Kramnik in a world championship match, must be of concern to the other top players. I expect all top grandmasters, including Peter Leko, to protest against this special privilege." |date=11 July 2007 |publisher=[[Chessbase]]}}</ref>

The only other player from the Top 30 who did not participate was [[Judit Polgár]].

==Playing conditions==
The tournament is in the style of the [[FIDE World Chess Championships 1998&ndash;2004]]: each round consists of a two-game match (except for the final round, which will be a four-game match), followed by tie breaks at faster time controls if required.<ref>[http://www.fide.com/official/handbook.asp?level=DD106 Regulations for the 2007 - 2009 World Chess Championship Cycle] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071215013633/http://www.fide.com/official/handbook.asp?level=DD106 |date=2007-12-15 }}, section 3.2, [[FIDE]] online.</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3948 |title=Veselin Topalov and the new FIDE world championship cycle |date=24 June 2007 |publisher=[[Chessbase]]}}</ref>

The time control for regular games is 90 minutes for the first 40 moves and 30 minutes for the rest of the game, with 30 seconds added after each move. Tie breaks consist of two rapid chess games (25 minutes each + 10 seconds per move); followed by two blitz games if required (5 minutes + 10 seconds per move); followed by a single [[Armageddon chess]] game if required (white has 6 minutes and must win, black has 5 minutes and only needs to draw).

The prize money ranged from US$6,000 for players eliminated in the first round to $80,000 for the losing finalist and $120,000 for the winner.
