This problem has more than one solutions. I found one with 6 queens placed at
(0,0), (1,7), (2,1), (3,4), (4,2), (6, 3)

You'll get the next 3 solutions(arrangements) by rotating the chessboard.. :-)

Writing a program for it? I'm working on it...

just tried to narrow down the chess deck step by step as I learned in my first tries that placing queens in the center leaves some squares in A, H, 1 and 8 rows and columns blank.

We can place them in different places, but with 5 queens we can cover the entire board

for putting the queens on to the board, just place 1st queen at a1 and put next queen at 2 and half steps(like move of a knight) and place another one and then follow same procedure...2and a half steps from a1 is b3...place them such that any two queens should not attack each other...
