of course, a solution to the 6 queens problem was first demonstrated in the 1500s by Henry VIII, applying a remarkably straightforward version of `divide and rule', partly in parallel, and all without the aid of a computer! (his method was later adapted to impressive effect by the French, using a specially-designed processor, with the algorithm extended beyond queens.)
