Queens #891 has 8 regions on a 8×8 board, from 2 cells up to 20. The 2-cell region that includes row 1, column 7 never leaves row 1. In the finished grid 2 of the 8 queens sit on the outer edge.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The 2-cell region that includes row 1, column 7 sits entirely in row 1, so that row's queen must be one of its 2 cells. That queen ends up in row 1.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Put a queen on row 1, column 8 and cross off the 15 cells it attacks or shares a region with.
Hint 3: nearly there
After that, row 2 has only 6 legal cells left: its queen goes at row 2, column 2. The remaining rows then fall one by one.
