... that five queens on a chessboard(pictured) can attack or occupy every square on the board? Source: Watkins, John J. (2012). Across the Board: The Mathematics of Chessboard Problems. Princeton University Press. pp. 113–114.
Comment: we could use the diagram below as an "image", but note that it uses {{Chess diagram small}}. If really needed, creating a "File:" image from it is possible.

Each square on the board is attacked or occupied by a queen.
Overall: Nice work. I don't see a problem with using the diagram, although I'm not sure if something other than an image/video file has ever gone into the image slot before. But for now it looks good. Epicgenius (talk) 14:08, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Sorry, Bilorv, but I gotta be able to fit the file in {{main page image/DYK}}, most bots rely on a consistent image template format—could you put it in an image file for me? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 09:15, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
