Queens #813 solution, step by step
Pick any step to see it on the board.
1. Queen on R8C7 Brown
All remaining cells of the Purple region lie in row 1. Its queen will end up there no matter what, so the other colors lose those squares: R1C3, R1C4, R1C5, R1C6, R1C7 and R1C8.
The Blue region is boxed into row 2. That row belongs to it, so cross out R2C1, R2C2, R2C3, R2C4 and R2C5.
Notice that the Gray region only has candidates in column 8. Any other color in that line can be removed, which clears R2C8, R3C8, R4C8, R7C8 and R8C8.
The Brown region is down to one open cell, so its queen goes on R8C7. Crossing out its row, column, color and neighbours removes 13 candidates.
2. Queen on R2C6 Blue
Only R2C6 is still free inside the Blue region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 2, column 6, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 5 cells disappear.
3. Queen on R7C1 Yellow
The Yellow region has nowhere else to go: R7C1 is its last legal square. 10 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.
4. Queen on R1C2 Purple
Every other cell of the Purple region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R1C2 for its queen. That rules out 3 more cells across row 1, column 2, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.
5. Queen on R5C8 Gray
The Red region is boxed into row 6. That row belongs to it, so cross out R6C8.
Only R5C8 is still free inside the Gray region. The queen goes there. After the usual cleanup (row 5, column 8, the touching squares and the rest of the color) 3 cells disappear.
6. Queen on R4C5 Orange
The Orange region has nowhere else to go: R4C5 is its last legal square. 4 cells drop out once you mark the row, column and the eight surrounding squares.
7. Queen on R3C3 Green
Every other cell of the Green region has been crossed out by now, which leaves R3C3 for its queen. That rules out 1 more cell across row 3, column 3, the rest of the color and the squares touching it.
8. Queen on R6C4 Red
The Red region is the only color still waiting, and R6C4 is its only open cell. Place the final queen there.
Region by region, the answer to #813 is R1C2, R2C6, R3C3, R4C5, R5C8, R6C4, R7C1 and R8C7.
