De Jong-Muhren has been playing chess since the age of five. Between 1994 and 2006 she repeatedly represented the Netherlands at the World and European Youth Chess Championships in all age groups. In 2004, in Ürgüp Bianca de Jong-Muhren won the title of runner-up in European Youth Chess Championship in U18 age group.
