In the Eight Queens problem the challenge is to place eight queen chess pieces on a chessboard so that no queen piece threatens another queen on the board. In chess, the queen is a powerful piece and has the ability to attack any other playing piece positioned anywhere else on the same row, column, or diagonal. This makes the challenge quite tricky as it sometimes it seems there is no solution. However, there are in fact ninety-two valid solutions to the problem, although many of those ninety-two are symmetrical mirrors.
