Queens #900 has 9 regions on a 9×9 board, from 3 cells up to 26. The smallest region has 3 cells and includes row 5, column 5. The biggest region, 26 cells, includes row 5, column 1; leave it for last, it will take whatever cell is left.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
The 3-cell region that includes row 5, column 5 has just 3 cells; try each one and watch what it rules out. That queen ends up in row 6.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Row 6, column 5 takes the first queen, which clears the rest of row 6, the rest of column 5 and the rest of its region.
Hint 3: nearly there
Now count row 5: just 6 cells survive, and the queen is at row 5, column 8. Keep doing that row by row.
