A 9-queen board today; the regions range from 2 cells to 20. One region, the 2-cell region that includes row 9, column 2, is confined to a single row. 3 different regions touch the four corners, which makes at least one corner easy to rule out.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 2-cell region that includes row 9, column 2 first: it never leaves row 9, which pins that row's queen to 2 cells. Its queen lands in row 9.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Place the first queen at row 9, column 2. That one move rules out 18 other cells.
Hint 3: nearly there
Row 8 is next, down to 6 options; the queen sits at row 8, column 8.
