In 2007, she won the Pan American under-14 girls championship.[6]

In June 2008, Cori took the gold medal in the Pan American Junior U20 Girls Championship.[7] In the following month, she won the Pan American under-16 girls championship[8] and thanks to this result she was awarded the title of Woman International Master. At the end of July, Cori finished first in the U15 girls' division of the World School Chess Championships in Singapore.[9][10]

She finished equal first with Martha Fierro in the Women's American Continental Championship in September 2009, placing second on tiebreak.[11] In November 2009, Cori tied for first place at the World U-20 Girls Championship, taking the silver medal on countback.[12] Later that month, she won the U-16 Girls' section of the World Youth Chess Championship in Antalya, Turkey, winning nine of her first ten games, and clinched the title with a round to spare.[13][14][15]

In November 2010, Cori finished second in the under-18 girls' division of the World Youth Championship in Porto Carras, Greece.[16] She competed in the Women's World Chess Championship 2010, for which she qualified by coming second in the 2009 American Continental Women's Championship, and was knocked out by Mariya Muzychuk in the first round.

In the latter she was eliminated in the first round by the eventual winner, Anna Ushenina.

In May 2013, Cori tied for third place with her brother and Argentine grandmaster Diego Flores in the American Continental Championship, placing fifth on tiebreak, and thus qualified for the Chess World Cup 2013.[21] In the latter she lost to Hikaru Nakamura in the first round and therefore was eliminated from the competition.
