8 queens to place in Queens #899, one in each row, column and region, none touching. The 2-cell region that includes row 4, column 8 never leaves column 8. A region that stretches along a single row or column locks that whole line for its queen.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The 2-cell region that includes row 4, column 8 sits entirely in column 8, so that column's queen must be one of its 2 cells. That queen ends up in row 4.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Place the first queen at row 4, column 8. That one move rules out 16 other cells.
Hint 3: nearly there
Row 3 is next, down to 6 options; the queen sits at row 3, column 3.
