Optimizing the Eight Queens Overlay Problem
ResearchPublished 1965
A study of the old problem of how to place eight queens on a chess board so that no queen attacks any of the others. This Paper studies the overlay problem: How can the 12 basic solutions to the above be shown on one chess board with a minimum of crowding? The scheme suggested reduces the multi-stage decision process to a series of single-stage decisions, each with a simple criterion of success.
