Queens #914 has 9 regions on a 9×9 board, from 3 cells up to 32. Nothing is forced outright; the 3-cell region that includes row 4, column 4 is the cheapest place to start. 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 3-cell region that includes row 4, column 4 first: it with 3 cells is where a guess costs the least. Its queen lands in row 5.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Place the first queen at row 5, column 3. That one move rules out 20 other cells.
Hint 3: nearly there
Row 4 is next, down to 6 options; the queen sits at row 4, column 7.
