She was one of the students featured in the 2012 documentary “Brooklyn Castle.“ Her United States Chess Federation rating is 2062, putting her in the 99th percentile of American junior players.

Raised in New York City, Ms. Ballantyne’s grandmother taught her to play chess and she continued to hone her skills through the Chess-in-the-Schools (CIS) program at PS 139 in Brooklyn. She won the 2012 All-Girls National Chess Championships, and was awarded full scholarships to the University of Texas and Stanford University. She graduated from Stanford in 2016.
