Hi!

Does anyone know how old is 8 queens puzzle? I found only this information:

The n-queens problem is an old one that has been around for more than a century. Originally known as the 8-Queens problem, it has been studied by many famous mathematicians over the years, including the great German mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855). The problem was generalized to n by n boards in 1850 by Franz Nauck. Since the 1960's, with rapid developments in computer science, this problem has been used as an example of backtracking algorithms, permutation generation, the divide and conquer paradigm, program development methodology, constraint satisfaction problems, integer programming, and specification.

There was in 1848 a publication about the 8 queens problem from Max Bezzel in the 'Berliner Schachzeitung' (German).
