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.

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).
