COMMENTS
The problem of placing eight queens on a chessboard so that no one of them can take any other in a single move is a particular case of the more general problem: On a square array of n X n cells place n objects, one on each of n different cells, in such a way that no two of them lie on the same row, column, or diagonal.
There are no (interesting) doubly centrosymmetric solutions for n < 4, and there is just one complete set for n = 4: 2413, 3142 and one for n = 5: 25314, 41352.
On the ordinary chessboard of 8 X 8 cells there are a total of 92 solutions, consisting of 11 sets of equivalent ordinary solutions and one set of equivalent symmetric solutions. There are no doubly symmetric solutions in this case.

The problem of placing eight queens on a chessboard so that no one of them can take any other in a single move is a particular case of the more general problem: On a square array of n X n cells place n objects, one on each of n different cells, in such a way that no two of them lie on the same row, column, or diagonal.
There are no ordinary solutions for n < 5, and there is just one complete set of ordinary solutions for n = 5: 13524, 52413, 24135, 35241, 53142, 14253, 42531, 31425 (generated by reflection and rotation).
On the ordinary chessboard of 8 X 8 cells there are a total of 92 solutions, consisting of 11 sets of equivalent ordinary solutions and one set of equivalent symmetric solutions. There are no doubly symmetric solutions in this case. These sets may be generated in the ordinary case by 15863724, 16837425, 24683175, 2571384, 25741863, 26174835, 26831475, 27368514, 27581463, 35841726, 36258174 and in the symmetric case by 35281746.
