Queens #898 has 8 regions on a 8×8 board, from 2 cells up to 29. One region, the 2-cell region that includes row 7, column 3, is confined to a single row. 2 of the queens sit a knight's move from the one in the row above; not a rule, just the shape of today's answer.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 2-cell region that includes row 7, column 3 first: it never leaves row 7, which pins that row's queen to 2 cells. Its queen lands in row 7.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Row 7, column 4 takes the first queen, which clears the rest of row 7, the rest of column 4 and the rest of its region.
Hint 3: nearly there
Now count row 6: just 5 cells survive, and the queen is at row 6, column 2. Keep doing that row by row.
