The Women's World Chess Championship 2012 was a knockout tournament, to decide the women's world champion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fide.com/FIDE/handbook/regulationsWWCC.pdf )〕 The title was won by Anna Ushenina of Ukraine for the first time. Defending champion Hou Yifan went out in the second round. The tournament was played as a 64-player knockout type in Khanty Mansiysk, Russia from 10 November to 1 December 2012. Each pairing consisted of two games, and tie-breaks at faster time controls, if necessary. After only two wins by lower rated players in the first round, the second round saw the top three seeds all going out to players rated 150 ELO points below them, of those third seed Anna Muzychuk lost to the eventual world champion. The fourth seed went out in the quarter-final. The final consisted of four games at classical time control, followed by tie-break games; in it Anna Ushenina beat former women's world champion Antoaneta Stefanova in the first set of tie-breaks. The unexpected final of two lower seeded players raised questions, if a single match knock-out system is the best way to determine the world champion. Ushenina lost her title in the Women's World Chess Championship 2013, after game seven of a ten-game match against Hou Yifan, winner of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix 2011–2012. ==Participants== Players qualified to the tournament through the previous world championship, the FIDE rating list, continental championships and two FIDE president nominees. Players were seeded by their Elo ratings (November 2012 list),〔(Top 100 Women November 2012 )〕 except that defending champion Hou Yifan was the no. 1 seed.〔(Participants of FIDE World women's chess championship 2012 )〕
