• April 11, 2017.

• Consider an n by n chessboard. If we wish each square to be either occupied or attacked by a queen, how many queens are needed? This problem has attracted mathematicians for more than 150 years, including me for more than 25 years. I survey the history, in particular the interesting directions and people I have encountered along the way, ending with recent generalizations to nonsquare boards.
