Eight Queens Problem

Hi,

Moving away from the stories, I would like to share with you one of my favorite assignments, written more than a year back. The Eight queens problem.

The problem, as you might already be knowing, is to arrange 8 queens on a 8X8 chess board in a non attacking way.

My solution to the puzzle (exe file... no viruses :) ) can be got by clicking on the link below:

Source code in c++ is given at http://cvkrishnakumar.googlepages.com/EIGHTQNS.CPP

This uses the backtracking technique in placing the queens.

Hope you find it interesting. Please pardon the lack of comments. I would be grateful for any suggestions or comments to improve.
