%N Number of different ways one can attack all squares on an n X n chessboard using the minimal number of queens.
%C Number of distinct solutions to minimal dominating set on queens' graph Q(n). See A002563 for non-isomorphic solutions.
%C For same problem, but with non-attacking queens, see A002568. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Sep 07 2012
