She reached a peak rating of 2735 and a peak ranking of #8, both in 2005.

After winning the U12 and U14 Boys World Championships in 1988 and 1990 respectively, she became a Grandmaster by winning the "men's" Hungarian championship in 1991 at the age of fifteen years and five months, at the time the youngest grandmaster in history, breaking Fischer’s record set in 1958.

Polgar is the only female to have contested the World Championship for all players when she participated in the FIDE World Championship Tournament (2005). She also played in the 2007 Candidates Tournament.

At the European Team Championships 1999, she won a team silver medal (playing for Hungary), and an individual silver medal for her result on board 2.

In rapids, amongst many other results, she beat such luminaries as David Navara 6-2 in a rapid match in the Czech Republic in 2010, and later in 2010 she beat Vassily Ivanchuk 2.5-1.5 and Veselin Topalov 3.5-0.5 to win the rapid Ajedrez UNAM Quadrangular (2010). In blitz, her rating reached 2736 (world #30 & women's world #1).

Polgar first entered the top 100 at #55 in January 1989 at the age of 12 when her rating reached 2555. She is still the youngest player to have entered the top 100.
