" At the age of 15 I broke the record of Bobby Fischer, by becoming the youngest international chess Grandmaster ever.

I have defeated world chess champions Spassky, Karpov, Kasparov, Topalov, Anand and Carlsen in international tournaments, matches and rapid competitions. In 2011, I became No. 1 on the women’s world ranking list for the 50th time. I have managed to keep this position as the best woman chess player since 1989. My highest rank on the World Men’s Rating List was 8th in 2005. I was awarded the Chess Oscar seven times, and was elected Woman Chess Player of the Century. I won the individual bronze medal at the European Championship in 2011. "
