八皇后问题最早是由国际西洋棋棋手马克斯·贝瑟尔于1848年提出。之后陆续有数学家对其进行研究，其中包括高斯和康托，并且将其推广为更一般的n皇后摆放问题。八皇后问题的第一个解是在1850年由弗朗兹·诺克给出的。诺克也是首先将问题推广到更一般的n皇后摆放问题的人之一。1874年，S.冈德尔提出了一个通过行列式来求解的方法，这个方法后来又被J.W.L.格莱舍加以改进。-Eight queens problem was first proposed by the International Chess Grandmaster Mark Searle Spey in 1848. After its research mathematician after another, including Gauss and Cantor, and its extension to more general n-queens problem placing. The first eight queens problem solution in 1850 was given by the Franz Roanoke. Knox is also one of the first questions will be extended to the more general problem of placing n queens people. 1874, S. Gandre propose a method to solve through the determinant, this method later was JWL Gelaishejia to improve.
