In 2003, Polgár scored one of her best results: an undefeated clear second place in the Category 19 Corus chess tournament in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands, just a half-point behind future World Champion Viswanathan Anand, and a full point ahead of then-world champion Vladimir Kramnik.
One of the highlight games of the tournament was Polgár's fourth round crushing victory over Anatoly Karpov.
In April 2003, Polgár finished second in The Hunguest Hotels Super Tournament in Budapest behind Nigel Short.
She appeared headed for a first place victory in the tournament, but lost her game against compatriot Péter Lékó.
In June 2003, Polgár finished tied for third with Boris Gelfand, in the Enghien-les-Bains International Tournament in France, scoring 5½ – 3½, behind Evgeny Bareev who won the tournament and GM Michael Adams.
In August 2003, Polgár played an eight-game rapid chess match in Mainz, Germany against Viswanathan Anand, billed as the " Battle of the Sexes ".
In one of her games against Karpov, he blundered, allowing Polgár to utilize a famous, ancient sacrifice first employed by Emanuel Lasker against Bauer in 1889.
