Queens #892 has 8 regions on a 8×8 board, from 4 cells up to 26. Nothing is forced outright; the 4-cell region that includes row 1, column 1 is the cheapest place to start. Every queen you place removes its row, its column, the cells around it and the rest of its region; mark them and the board shrinks fast.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 4-cell region that includes row 1, column 1 first: it is the smallest, only 4 cells, so its queen has 4 possible spots. Its queen lands in row 1.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Put a queen on row 1, column 3 and cross off the 17 cells it attacks or shares a region with.
Hint 3: nearly there
After that, row 2 has only 4 legal cells left: its queen goes at row 2, column 7. The remaining rows then fall one by one.
