Nice puzzles Dave.This one justed clicked on the first thing i did.
N queens (9x9)took me over an hour.
<Dave> The rules: Every sphere must be in the 9x9 field, no more than two in any row or column. Simple as that.

<Dave> (SPOILER) I've got a couple more levels for the 9x9 series. Nine queens is pretty simple, it was just fun to implement with the self-imposed restriction of an orthagonal d-map.

<Dave> (SPOILER) Mark, after you suggested 9x9 I just decided to build the level and hope I would be able to figure out a way of solving it afterwards.

Never been much of a chess player, I've always prefered games with a mixture of skill and chance.

Jim, I think you've nailed it with Improv 2.5. I don't think I'll be taking it any further either.

<Jim> (SPOILER) Thanks Mark, I'm glad you enjoyed it. On my 2nd attempt at the 9X9, I was only 4 moves away but I have been unable to better that since.... as for chess, it was the first thing I did online. I used to play the speed chess versions, two minutes for each player to make 40 moves then I think it was 5 seconds additional for each move over 40. I haven't played that in years now though, but was super fun at the time.
<mark> (SPOILER) Jim i think that 2.5 was fantastic it took me a fair while,great usage of all the blocks.
With thinking time and wasted moves it took me nearly 500 more to do first solve.

When i went to score it i again scored the wrong level.I scored the deleted level as i wanted to see Dave's cookrun.
I've lowered deleted level score to what Dave put.

Really enjoyed it and i won't be adding anymore,think i'll leave 2.4 up for now.

Dave thanks for making the 9x9 i've had a couple of goes following my pattern and i'm getting closer.
I don't think i'll solve it to soon though because it so annoying to get close and not solve it i'm probably just going to have one try a day.
Failing that i'll have to read up on math side of it and try and do it that way.
Did you now how to do it when you made it or did you just solve it?
Is it being a larger square easier than the 8x8?
When i said i knew how 8x8 was done it did not mean i worked it out it was something i'd looked up years ago after being set lot's of chess puzzles.
Not even played chess much pretty rubbish at it,but i used to go to a social club where a wise old chess player used to set me problems.
I'd go back the next week with the answer memorised courtsey of the internet and he thought I was smart.

Thanks to all see you soon.
<Dave> (SPOILER) Jim, you were one step ahead of me! You uploaded the fix at the same time I was posting the cookrun.

Ignore previous comment. We'll have to time it better next time :)
<Dave> (SPOILER) Jim, I'm unlikely to have time to mod 2.5, so have uploaded alternative solution as speedrun.
