  2. Eight queens puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle

    Then the n queens problem is equivalent to choosing a subset of the rows of this matrix such that every primary column has a 1 in precisely one of the chosen rows and every secondary column has a 1 in at most one of the chosen rows; this is an example of a generalized exact cover problem, of which sudoku is another example. n-queens completion

  3. Min-conflicts algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-conflicts_algorithm

    The algorithm searches each potential move for the number of conflicts (number of attacking queens), shown in each square. The algorithm moves the queen to the square with the minimum number of conflicts, breaking ties randomly. Note that the number of conflicts is generated by each new direction that a queen can attack from. If two queens ...

    A mathematical chess problem is a mathematical problem which is formulated using a chessboard and chess pieces. These problems belong to recreational mathematics.The most well-known problems of this kind are the eight queens puzzle and the knight's tour problem, which have connection to graph theory and combinatorics.

  6. Exact cover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_cover

    The N queens problem is the problem of placing n chess queens on an n×n chessboard so that no two queens threaten each other. A solution requires that no two queens share the same row, column, or diagonal. It is an example of a generalized exact cover problem. [5]

  9. Backtracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking

    The classic textbook example of the use of backtracking is the eight queens puzzle, that asks for all arrangements of eight chess queens on a standard chessboard so that no queen attacks any other. In the common backtracking approach, the partial candidates are arrangements of k queens in the first k rows of the board, all in different rows and ...
