M. R. Engelhardt, A group-based search for solutions of the n-queens problem, Discr. Math., 307 (2007), 2535-2551.
FORMULA
Row sum = A000170 (number of n queens placements)
Column 0 has same values as A007705 (torus n queens solutions)
Column 1 is always zero.
EXAMPLE
For n=4, there are only the two solutions 2-4-1-3 and 3-1-4-2. Both have two conflicts So the terms for n=4 are 0 (0 solutions for n=4 having 0 conflicts), 0, 2 (the two cited above), 0 and 0. These are members 10 to 15 of the sequence.

COMMENTS
Schlude and Specker investigate if it is possible to set n-1 non-attacking queens on an n X n toroidal chessboard. That is equivalent to searching for normal (i.e., non-toroidal) solutions of 3 engaged queens. In this case, one of the three queens has conflicts with both other queens. If you remove this queen, you get a setting of n-1 queens without conflicts, i.e., a toroidal solution.

FORMULA
Row sum = A000170 (number of n-queen placements).
Column 0 has same values as A007705 (torus n-queen solutions).
Columns 1 and 2 are always zero.
Column 3 counts solutions of the special "Schlude-Specker" situation.

For n=4, there are only the two solutions 2-4-1-3 and 3-1-4-2. For both solutions, all 4 queens are engaged in conflicts. So the terms for n=4 are 0 (0 solutions for n=4 having 0 engaged queens), 0, 0, 0 and 2 (the two cited above). These are members 11 to 15 of the sequence.

COMMENTS
The rightmost part of the triangle contains only zeros. As any connection component needs at least two queens, the number of connection components of a solution is always less than or equal to n.

for n=4, there are only the two solutions 2-4-1-3 and 3-1-4-2. Both have two connection components in the conflicts graph. So, the terms for n=4 are 0, 0, 2 (the two cited above), 0 and 0. These are members 10 to 15 of the sequence.
