Queen's Chess Puzzle
Puzzle Hints for
The Seventh Guest
The Queen's Chess Puzzle is located in the Game Room at the end of the
hall. The puzzle consists of an 8 by 8 chess board and eight queens. The
object of the game is to place eight queens on the chess board so that
none of their domains overlap. The puzzle is complete when all eight queens
have been positioned.
Hint 1: The only move that a queen cannot make is the move of a knight. The
pattern of the knight's move is 2 squares horizontal or vertical
and 1 square at a right angle from the original direction of travel.
Using a pattern that resemble's knights moves may be helpful.
Hint 2: Since a queens domain is all squares horizontally, vertically and
diagonally from her current position, the trick to this puzzle is
to place the queens so that only one queen is on every row and
column, and none of the diagonals overlap.
