8 Queens

Submitted by jrcolonial98 on Sat, 12/20/2008 at 4:21am.

I know a brainteaser where you must put 8 Queens on the board where none of them can attack eachother. It took me a while to solve, but I eventually got it. I'm not going to show it, I want to see if you can get it!!

Of course the principle is "knight movements". The knight is the only piece that can attack a queen without being reciprocally being attacked. But you knew that.

really you could just put 8 white or 8 black queens anywhere on the board and they can't attack each other.
