Starting from this week, on a weekly basis would like to present some interesting chess problems with answers. I was doing this on my test website some time back, and finally decided to do this here. I was always fascinated by chess right from my childhood days. A very good game, improves strategical thinking and makes one to be very sharp.

From now on, let us take up four interesting chess problems on a weekly basis and find interesting ways to solve them.
For all the problems presented in this week,
