You will need a chess board and 8 queens (just use 8 pawns, but remember that they have to be able to move in the same way as a queen would).
The idea is to place all 8 queens onto the board in such a position as that non are attacking each other from any direction.
This sounds easy but is actually rather difficult. I cant even do this myself.
Good luck.

Well, obviously you dont need to look at the solution. But if its boggling anyones brain to the point of frustration then that will put them out of their misery.
I would however say that its easier drawing a grid in paint, then using straight lines to check for conflicts.

Yep: up, down, left, right, up-right, down-right etc etc however many squares it likes. It does everything except jumping about like a knight.

Vertical - diagonal - horizontal - three movements. The most powerful piece on the board. Women, eh.
