Chess Puzzle of the Week (1)

Every week (or perhaps more often) I’ll be posting a puzzle for you to solve. It might be a position from play, an endgame study or a problem.

This week it’s a problem: mainly because the latest edition of The Problemist (published by the British Chess Problem Society) arrived through my letterbox the other day.
