Eight queens puzzle

Image result for chess queen
Can you place eight queens on a chess board, so that no queen can capture any other queen? If you don’t play chess, then all you need to know is that a queen can move forwards, backwards and diagonally. Hence, the queens need to be placed so that no queen is in the line of sight (straight or diagonally of any other queen). There are no marks for this question – I have included it just to stretch your brain.
You can use the following website to try different possibilities. Good luck.http://www.brainmetrix.com/8-queens/
