GPT: No, it is not possible to place seven queens on a standard 8x8 chessboard without any of them attacking each other. A queen can attack any piece (including another queen) that lies in the same row, column, or diagonal as itself. Since the maximum number of non-attacking queens that can be placed on an 8x8 chessboard is eight, it is not possible to have seven queens without any attacks.

Looks like 6 is the max

That reminds me of the puzzle to put a knight on every square of the board kind of thingy.

You can do 64 if they're all the same colour. 😁
