The eight queens puzzle is the problem of placing eight chess queens on an 8x8 chessboard
so that no two queens threaten each other.

The eight queens puzzle is an example of the more general n-queens problem of placing n queens on an nxn chessboard,
where solutions exist for all natural numbers n with the exception of n=2 or n=3.
