An absolutely terrible story coming out of the States this morning. Thomas Elberling a very promising 11 year old from New Jersey, already a FIDE Candidate Master and rated no 5 for his age in the US, was shot dead by his father in an apparent murder-suicide action. His father Jens Elberling was known to be a very pushy parent and was going through a divorce but no one suspected this would happen.
