Abstract

This paper proposes a new solution to the problem of how many queens cover one chessboard. For the purposes of this paper, a Staunton style chess queen is assumed, and not the ruler of any country. This algorithm is implemented in Pidgin Algol (1), which will be demonstrated to support concurrency.
