A 8-queen board today; the regions range from 2 cells to 41. One region, the 2-cell region that includes row 1, column 6, is confined to a single column. 4 different regions touch the four corners, so no corner is a giveaway.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 2-cell region that includes row 1, column 6 first: it never leaves column 6, which pins that column's queen to 2 cells. Its queen lands in row 1.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Place the first queen at row 1, column 6. That one move rules out 16 other cells.
Hint 3: nearly there
Row 2 is next, down to 5 options; the queen sits at row 2, column 8.
