Queen's problem

Sort:
Conquistador

The objective of this puzzle is to arrange the queens in a manner to control as many squares on the board as possible.  For example, I shall do 8 queens.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now how would you solve 7 queens?  6 queens?  5 queens?  4 queens?  If all 64 squares cannot be controlled, what is the maximum number that can be controlled?  Lets see how the community fairs :)

Okay, so you guys have solved up to six queens.  Solve five!
