Early Life and Education

Anna Rudolf was born on November 12, 1987, in Miskolc, Hungary, and raised in Bátaszék.

Growing up in a supportive family, she was introduced to chess at age four by her father, László Rudolf, a chess enthusiast and world champion in hexagonal chess with a peak FIDE rating of 2185.

Alongside her younger sister, Kata Rudolf, she developed a passion for the game through the Battle Chess computer program.

At nine, Anna gained attention by defeating Grandmaster Lajos Portisch in a simultaneous exhibition.

Anna later studied Russian and English at the University of Pécs, balancing her academic pursuits with her chess career.

Her Christian faith and Hungarian heritage shape her identity.

Career

Anna Rudolf began her chess journey at age four, achieving a FIDE rating above 2000 by age 12.

She won Hungarian girls’ national championships at under-12, under-16, and under-20 levels, and secured the senior Hungarian women’s championship in 2008, 2010, and 2011.

She earned the Woman Grandmaster (WGM) title in 2008 at age 19, after securing three WGM norms, including a double norm at the 2007 European Individual Women’s Chess Championship.

Her International Master (IM) title followed in 2015, with norms earned in 2007, 2010, and 2014.

Her peak FIDE rating was 2393 in July 2010, ranking her No. 71 among women globally.

A career highlight was the 2007 Vandœuvre Open, where she achieved a performance rating of 2541, defeating Grandmasters Yaroslav Zherebukh (rated 2642) and Christian Bauer (rated 2634), though the event was marred by a false cheating accusation involving her lip balm.

Anna represented Hungary at the Chess Olympiads (2008, 2010, 2012) and European Team Chess Championships (2009–2015).

Since 2017, she has shifted from competitive play to focus on commentary and content creation, working with Chess.com and chess24.

She co-hosted the 2018 World Chess Championship with Judit Polgár, her childhood idol, and produces instructional videos with IM Sopiko Guramishvili as “Miss Strategy” and “Miss Tactics.”
